ABOUT ME

The tongue of a blue whale is the size of an elephant.

PHILOSOPHY

"The Other precisely reveals himself in his alterity ,not in a shock negating the I, but as the primordial phenomenon of gentleness" - Emmanuel Levinas

"Man's chief difference from the brutes lies in the exuberant excess of his subjective propensities-€his preeminence over them simply and solely in the number and in the fantastic and unnecessary character of his wants: physical, moral, aesthetic, and intellectual... Had his whole life not been a quest for the superfluous, he would never have established himself as inexpugnably as he has done in the necessary." -James Hillman

"Painting is like hands stuck in a mattress" -Franz Kline

"The question of maturity is not how to avoid humiliation; but rather, how one can place it so it becomes fertile.

A person that doesn't have a favourite cup must be crazy. (My friend A.R.)

"I'm only Jewish on my parents' side ;) " - Ram Dass

"Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." - Nietzsche

"The pain that you carry is the love you withhold" - various

"Meditation takes away our false blindness to give us True blindness." (from zen tradition)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Fairly new to this. My brother used Couchsurfing in his time. Am creative type. Israeli but half australian\british. I also lived there.
Also like reading, nonfiction, but if I list what I like to read I will sound too pretnetious (ok- philosophy- here you go).
I want to repay the kindness of my scandinavian hosts.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was hosted in scandinavia.
