Simone de Beauvoir
“I cannot withdraw into myself. I exist, outside myself and everywhere in the world. There is not an inch of my path which does not encroach on the path of another: there is no way of being that can prevent me from overflowing myself at every moment. This life that I weave with my own substance, it offers other men a thousand unknown faces, it crosses impetuously their fate.”
Simone de Beauvoir, The Blood of Others

Chief Seattle
“Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect."-- Chief Seattle, Duwamish”
Chief Seattle

Ludwig Wittgenstein
“There are, indeed, things that cannot be put into words. They make themselves manifest. They are what is mystical.”
Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus

Giacomo Leopardi
“Children find everything in nothing, men find nothing in everything.”
Giacomo Leopardi, Zibaldone di pensieri

Daniel C. Dennett
“Our fundamental tactic of self-protection, self-control, and self-definition is not spinning webs or building dams, but telling stories, and more particularly connecting and controlling the story we tell others - and ourselves - about who we are.”
Daniel C. Dennett, Consciousness Explained
