Daniel Pinchbeck
“As I wandered the streets in a desolate funk, I would ask myself the impossible, the embarrassing, the ultimate childish question of Why? - Why this city? Why this life? Why anything? Of course I knew that "why" was a question you were supposed to stop asking around the age of ten but I couldn't free myself from it.”
Daniel Pinchbeck, Breaking Open the Head: A Psychedelic Journey into the Heart of Contemporary Shamanism

Will Durant
“In the end, nothing is lost. Every event, for good or evil, has effects forever.”
Will Durant, Story of Civilization

Francis Bacon
“Slander boldly, something always sticks
[Audacter calumniare, semper aliquid haeret]”
Francis Bacon
