Gregory Bateson

Citas

• “If it were possible adequately to present the whole of a culture, stressing every aspect exactly as appears in the culture itself, no single detail would appear bizarre or strange or arbitrary to the reader, but rather the details would all appear natural and reasonable as they do to the natives who have lived all their lives within the culture.”

• “We can never be quite clear whether we are referring to the world as it is or to the world as we see it.”

• “The map is not the territory, and the name is not the thing named (see also, Alfred Korzybski).”

• “Rather, for all objects and experiences there is a quantity that has an optimum value. Above that quantity, the variable becomes toxic. To fall below that value is to be deprived.”

• “The world partly becomes — comes to be — how it is imagined.”
