Marcel Proust
“Time, which changes people, does not alter the image we have of them.”
Marcel Proust

H.G. Wells
“Nature never appeals to intelligence until habit and instinct are useless. There is no intelligence where there is no need of change.”
H.G. Wells, The Time Machine

Arthur Schopenhauer
“Change alone is eternal, perpetual, immortal.”
Arthur Schopenhauer

H.G. Wells
“It is a law of nature we overlook, that intellectual versatility is the compensation for change, danger, and trouble. An animal perfectly in harmony with its environment is a perfect mechanism. Nature never appeals to intelligence until habit and instinct are useless. There is no intelligence where there is no change and no need of change. Only those animals partake of intelligence that have a huge variety of needs and dangers.”
H.G. Wells, The Time Machine

Walt Whitman
“Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)”
Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass
