“ "Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it."”
The Analects of Confucius • Confucius“Because we are the cause of our environmental problems, we are the ones in control of them, and we can choose or not choose to stop causing them and start solving them. The future is up for grabs, lying in our own hands. We don’t need new technologies to solve our problems; while new technologies can make some contribution, for the most part we "just" need the political will to apply solutions already available.”
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond“How singular is the thing called pleasure, and how curiously related to pain, which might be thought to be the opposite of it; for they never come to a man together, and yet he who pursues either of them is generally compelled to take the other. They are two, and yet they grow together out of one head or stem.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“No one is useless in this world ... who lightens the burden of it for any one else.”
Our Mutual Friend • Charles Dickens“As we grow old, we become aware that death is drawing near; his shadow falls across our path; the realities of life seem less crude than of yore, they touch our senses less intimately, and they lose much of their poignancy.”
Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman • Stefan Zweig
