“Russian forests crash down under the axe, billions of trees are dying, the habitations of animals and birds are laid waste, rivers grow shallow and dry up, marvelous landscapes are disappearing forever.... Man is endowed with creativity in order to multiply that which has been given him; he has not created, but destroyed. There are fewer and fewer forests, rivers are drying up, wildlife has become extinct, the climate is ruined, and the earth is becoming ever poorer and uglier.”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“The road up and the road down is one and the same. ”
Fragments • Heraclitus“The better part of valour is discretion; in the which better part I have saved my life.”
Henry IV • William Shakespeare“One might expect, perhaps, that a man full of genius could pasture in the greatness of his own thoughts, and renounce the cheap approbation of the crowd which he despises; yet he succumbs to the more powerful impulse of the herd instinct. His searching and his finding, his call, belong to the herd.”
Psychology of the Unconscious • Carl Gustav Jung“African and European skulls of half a million years ago were sufficiently similar to skulls of us moderns that they are classified in our species, Homo sapiens, instead.”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)
