“Our messiahs are hopeless and modern, they speak only in our sleep”
― Kaveh Akbar, Calling a Wolf a Wolf

“I am glad I still exist glad for cats and moss and Turkish indigo and yet to be light upon the earth to be steel bent around an endless black to once again be God’s own tuning fork and yet and yet”

“The inter-subjective is something that exists within the communication network linking the subjective consciousness of many individuals. If a single individual changes his or her beliefs, or even dies, it is of little importance. However, if most individuals in the network die or change their beliefs, the inter-subjective phenomenon will mutate or disappear. Inter-subjective phenomena are neither malevolent frauds nor insignificant charades. They exist in a different way from physical phenomena such as radioactivity, but their impact on the world may still be enormous. Many of history’s most important drivers are inter-subjective: law, money, gods, nations.”
― Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

“One way to live a life is to spend each moment asking for forgiveness for the last”
