Existantialism Quotes

“Let’s say -for the sake of the argument-, whatever you do, doesn’t matter in the great scheme of things. But the thing is we don’t live in the great scheme of things. We live only in a part of it. So, even if it doesn’t matter in the great scheme of things, it doesn’t matter that it doesn’t matter.”

“Sometimes we humans are like brainless chickens, we run around aimlessly and to no avail, we seem to be looking for something that we don't even know what it is, some sort of missing piece, which isn't even there. Why don't most of us realise that life isn't about looking for the missing piece, but actually to learn live with the fact that one might never find it and still have a happy and fulfilled life nonetheless?”

“Would you rather be a candle or a lamp? Choose the lamp! Would you rather be a shark or a cat? Choose the shark, it can live for 500 years! Turtle or dog? Choose the turtle!

Be a whale, live for 200 years, be a glass sponge, live for 10,000 years, be a Turritopsis dohrni, achieve biological immortality, and your story will be longer than anyone else!”
