Marie Howe
“Before we came to believe humans were
so important
before this awful loneliness.
Can molecules recall it?
what once was? Before anything happen?
No I, No we, No one. No way. No verb. No noun.
only a tiny dot brimming with
is is is is is is
All everything home.”
Marie Howe

Alan W. Watts
“We do not "come into" this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As the ocean "waves," the universe "peoples." Every individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the total universe. This fact is rarely, if ever, experienced by most individuals. Even those who know it to be true in theory do not sense or feel it, but continue to be aware of themselves as isolated "egos" inside bags of skin.”
Alan W. Watts, The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are

Alexander the Great
“Each moment free from fear makes a man immortal.”
Alexander the Great

Elif Shafak
“Doubts are good. It means you are alive and searching. One does not become a believer overnight. He thinks he is a believer; then something happens in his life and he becomes an unbeliever, after that, he becomes a believer again and then an unbeliever again, and so on. Until we reach a certain stage, we constantly waver. This is the only way forward. At each new step, we come closer to the Truth.”
Elif Shafak, The Forty Rules of Love

Irin Carmon
“The pedestal upon which women have been placed has all too often, upon closer inspection, been revealed as a cage.”
Irin Carmon, Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg
