“The more we realize that we are only separated by the membrane of our own limiting and dividing beliefs, the more sand we remove, ultimately uncovering the deep and direct roots between us. Only then is society truly united, when we realize we are a whole, composed of cohesive parts.”
Kayla Severson, Nature's 1st Gem Is Green

Darryl Anka
“What's going on in our world today is not something we can run away from. Therefore the calmest place is the eye of the storm. (...)

Chaos may be swirling all around us but if we stay in the center, obviously also metaphorically the centre of our own Being, that's where we're going to be able to handle everything that's going on, no matter how chaotic it gets. (...)

In the eye of the storm we're not tossed about by what we see.”
Darryl Anka

“It makes me think. Maybe the only meaning to life is that which we get from each other.”
Mark Russell, The Flintstones, Vol. 1

Clarice Lispector
“Every day it will be the same thing: at dusk I begin to feel melancholy and pensive.”
Clarice Lispector, The Complete Stories

“Whereas many people can find happiness by partaking in the ordinary trappings of life, creative people are especially susceptible to enduring an existential crisis, feeling that their life is aimless, irrational, and intolerably painful, especially when they are at an artistic impasse. The impelling act of using their imagination to create enduring artistic testaments is perhaps their only method to blunt the fateful feeling that it is useless to continue living in a world where life has no ultimate meaning, value, and purpose.”
Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls
