We're so terrified of death in Western culture that we have to make up a myth of an afterlife. I think there's something to be said for living your life very mindful of the fact that you're going to die because I think you carry yourself differently. It doesn't have to be this big, negative bummer.

It would be impossible to be a woman in Western culture and not have your own issues about your image and what you look like.

The center of Western culture is Greece, and we have never lost our ties with the architectural concepts of that ancient civilization.

You know, face painting in non-Western cultures is a sign of collectivism, is a sign of one representing the community, it's not unique at all.

Every aspect of Western culture needs a new code of ethics - a rational ethics - as a precondition of rebirth.
