Transcendental meditation is like a car, a vehicle that allows you to go within. It's a mental technique.

I think that ideas exist outside of ourselves. I think somewhere, we're all connected off in some very abstract land. But somewhere between there and here ideas exist.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Ideas are an intrinsic part of a collective consciousness that transcends individual experience.
In this quote, David Lynch expresses the notion that ideas are not solely created within our individual minds but rather exist in a shared, abstract realm where all human consciousness is interconnected. He suggests that there is a bridge between this abstract space of ideas and our tangible reality, implying that creativity and inspiration often arise from this collective unconsciousness.

Direct action against the authority in the shop, direct action against the authority of the law, direct action against the invasive, meddlesome authority of our moral code, is the logical, consistent method of Anarchism.

People are either not familiar with their history, or they have not yet learned that revolution is but thought carried into action.
