“Capitalism is destroying the planet. The two old tricks that dug it out of past crises--War and Shopping--simply will not work.”
― Arundhati Roy, Capitalism: A Ghost Story

“There are, then, two ways of understanding an experience. The first is to compare it with the memories of other experiences, and so to name and define it. This is to interpret it in accordance with the dead and the past. The second is to be aware of it as it is, as when, in the intensity of joy, we forget past and future, let the present be all, and thus do not even stop to think, “I am happy.”
― Alan Wilson Watts, The Wisdom of Insecurity

“one cannot seek for what he knows, and it seems equally impossible for him to seek for what he does not know. For what a man knows he cannot seek, since he knows it; and what he does not know he cannot seek, since he does not even know for what to seek.”
― Søren Kierkegaard, Philosophical Fragments
