“Life’s definition, as it stands now, is akin to a menu. It is not one thing but a series of things, a set of behaviors, a series of processes, not a single property. To be living, an organism must have the capacity to reproduce, to grow, to metabolize, to adapt to stimuli, and to maintain its internal milieu.”
― Siddhartha Mukherjee, The Song of the Cell: An Exploration of Medicine and the New Human

“To perceive the world through other senses is to find splendor in familiarity, and the sacred in the mundane.”
― Ed Yong, An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us

“Our comforting conviction that the world makes sense rests on a secure foundation: our almost unlimited ability to ignore our ignorance.”
― Daniel Kahneman, Thinking, Fast and Slow

“The manifestation of the disease of fear is anger, hate, sadness, envy, and hypocrisy; the result of the disease is all the emotions that make humans suffer.”
― Miguel Ruiz, The Mastery of Love: A Practical Guide to the Art of Relationship
