Excerpts from Iain McGilchrist:

• “As far as I’m concerned, Hannah Arendt is almost a saint. Her work is so important now, there’s almost nobody who, if you haven’t read them, I would more urge you to read.”
• “Imagination is the opposite of fantasy…. Fantasy is what takes you away from reality, but imagination is the only chance you have of entering into reality. If you don’t use your imagination, you remain remote from whatever it is you are encountering.”
• “I’m a great fan and proud to call myself a friend of John Cleese. And I think that his humor is one of the reasons for living.”
• “When you ask ChatGPT a question it goes out and does a trolley dash around the internet and comes back with a vanilla milkshake.”
