“People think they understand things because they become familiar with them. This is only superficial knowledge. It is the knowledge of the astronomer who knows the names of the stars, the botanist who knows the classification of the leaves and flowers, the artist who knows the aesthetics of green and red. This is not to know nature itself- the earth and sky, green and red. Astronomer, botanist, and artist have done no more than grasp impressions and interpret them, each within the vault of his own mind. The more involved they become with the activity of the intellect, the more they set themselves apart and the more difficult it becomes to live naturally.”
― Masanobu Fukuoka, The One-Straw Revolution

“I count myself lucky, having long ago won a lottery paid to me in seven sunrises a week for life.”
― Robert Brault

“Boredom is the most sublime of all human
emotions because it expresses the fact that
the human spirit, in a certain sense,
is greater than the entire universe.
Boredom is an expression of a profound despair
at not finding anything that can satisfy the
soul's boundless needs”
― Giacomo Leopardi

“A family is a group of people who keep confusing you with someone you were as a kid.”
