“Honor is connected to many things, but one thing it’s not connected to is happiness. In honor cultures, happiness as we think of it—“life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”—is not a recognized good. Happiness in honor cultures is the possession of unsullied honor. Everything else is secondary. (18)”

“For centuries philosophers and scientists have discussed this most pressing of questions: are humans part of nature - or are we above or beside (or indeed beneath) it? One of the most important things a landscape architect must know is that humans are not only part of nature - we are nature. This insight is at once the simplest and also the most startling and disturbing insight that Modernity can imagine. If humans are nature, that means we must completely reconfigure the way we think about our presence in the world. Gone are the days when humans could subjugate nature in our attempts to reshape the world in our own image. Instead we must realize that we are here on this planet on equal terms with trees, plants, animals, jellyfish and mountains - an ethical knowledge that we must treat everything on Earth (the whole system of which we are part) in a decent way. We must take this knowledge seriously and make landscapes, cities and societies such as we have never seen before. (4, Stig L. Andersson)”

“Primitive man impresses us so strongly with his subjectivity that we should really have guessed long ago that myths refer to something psychic. His knowledge of nature is essentially the language and outer dress of an unconscious psychic process. But the very fact that this process is unconscious gives us the reason why man has thought of everything except the psyche in his attempts to explain myths. (8)”

“The secret of life is to "die before you die" — and find that there is no death. (38)”
