About this Quote

This quote by Marc Ribot speaks to the suggestion that impact is not constantly something that we are drawn in to, however can likewise be something that we are pushed back by. Impact can be seen as a type of power, and it is frequently the instance that we are running away from the power of influence, as opposed to running towards it. This might be since we are trying to prevent being influenced by something that we locate morally or ethically wrong, or due to the fact that we are attempting to prevent being affected by something that we find overbearing or overbearing. In either case, influence can be seen as something that we are fleing from, rather than something that we are brought in to. Inevitably, this quote talks with the suggestion that impact is not constantly something that we are drawn in to, yet can also be something that we are fleing from.
