“How much longer will man continue to pimp for the gluttony of death, his most insidious, implacable, and eternal foe?”
― Percy Bysshe Shelley

“Adam's final act of naming is to name his wife, Eve, inaugurating the religious basis for the masculine's ownership over the feminine. What we name, we often feel we own. What we name, we feel we understand well enough to name. And when we believe we have arrived at understanding, we stop asking questions. We close ourselves off from surprise.”
― Sophie Strand, The Flowering Wand: Rewilding the Sacred Masculine

“...an old man whose cottony hair gave him the look of a photographic negative...”
― Gabriel García Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude

“Our bodies have formed themselves in delicate reciprocity with the manifold textures, sounds, and shapes of an animate earth — our eyes have evolved in subtle interaction with other eyes, as our ears are attuned by their very structure to the howling of wolves and the honking of geese. To shut ourselves off from these other voices, to continue by our lifestyles to condemn these other sensibilities to the oblivion of extinction, is to rob our own senses of their integrity, and to rob our minds of their coherence. We are human only in contact, and conviviality, with what is not human.”
― David Abram, The Spell of the Sensuous: Perception and Language in a More-Than-Human World
