" What is required is an attentive response to something real and other than ourselves, of which we have only inklings at first, but which comes more and more into being through our response to it – if we are truly responsive to it. We nurture it into being; or not. In this it has something of the structure of love. "

― Iain McGilchrist , The Matter With Things: Our Brains, Our Delusions, and the Unmaking of the World
