SET 1: Some Thoughts about Art & Peace

Frida:    This author seems to rely on art to communicate what could be more logically expressed with words.

Ying:     Many realms of meaning have nothing to do with logic – at least as it's usually defined.

Frida:    (shaking her head) Perhaps, but it's exasperating! Potential meanings are all over the place.

Satoru:   (interjecting) . . . And where's the peace? This art work is so messy!

Dmiritri: Peace is not a place, but state of mind – so don't worry about the art.
