“An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come.”
Histoire d'un crime • VICTOR HUGO“What doesn’t kill me, makes me stronger!”
Twilight of the Idols • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“In fact, one of the main lesson to be learned from the collapses of the Maya, Anasazi, Easter Islanders, and those other past societies (as well as from the recent collapse of the Soviet Union) is that a society's steep decline may begin only a decade or two after the society reaches its peak numbers, wealth, and power. [...] The reason is simple: maximum population, wealth, resource consumption, and waste production mean maximum environmental impact, approaching the limit where impact outstrips resources. On reflection, it's no surprise that declines of societies tend to follow swiftly on their peaks.”
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond“The longest-lived and the shortest-lived man, when they come to die, lose one and the same thing.”
Book II • Marcus Aurelius““Maman died today. Or yesterday maybe, I don’t know. I got a telegram from the home: ‘Mother deceased. Funeral tomorrow. Faithfully yours.’ That doesn’t mean anything. Maybe it was yesterday.””
Stranger • Albert Camus
