Just the words I think I prefer. . . . #poetry#fall#death
- Human beings are works in progress that mistakenly think they’re finished. The person you are right now is as transient, as fleeting and as temporary as all the people you’ve ever been. The one constant in our lives is change.
from The Psychology of Your Future Self and How Your Present Illusions Hinder Your Future Happiness by Maria Popova
The particularity of our problems can be made bearable only through the recognition of our universal humanity. We suffer uniquely, but we survive the same way.
from Brave Enough by cheryl strayed
The most human part of humanity is not our animal instincts nor our computer-like rationality, but our mutual social creation of meanings and values around arbitrary choices.
Human beings set out to encounter other worlds, other civilizations, without having fully gotten to know their own hidden recesses, their blind alleys, well shafts, dark barricaded doors.
from Solaris by Stanislaw Lem
