Quotes by Marc Hamer (?)

“A feeling of belonging brings with it a desire to build something to mark one's connection, and then, having built - a garden, a house, a career, a tunnel system - one has to protect those things from intruders, violently if necessary. We try to create an illusion of permanence, but there is none.”
― Marc Hamer, How To Catch A Mole

tags: belonging, creating, impermanence
