Imaginarium

“If we were internally or intrinsically valuable, we should have complete consciousness of our value without needing external acknowledgment.”
― Julio Cabrera, Discomfort and Moral Impediment: The Human Situation, Radical Bioethics and Procreation

“A human life has “rejectives” rather than objectives, a kind of movement more reactive than active, an escape rather than a search.”
― Julio Cabrera, Discomfort and Moral Impediment: The Human Situation, Radical Bioethics and Procreation

“In each residue (the still uncovered butter dish, the table left dirty, the boredom of the return trip), we are escaping from the residue that we already are, from the unbearable fact that we are discarded every day, as nature’s and society’s leftovers, cast aside and thrown away after having been used. After we are gone, life leaves everything as it was; it makes a final arrangement without us, as we do with the remains of food from the countless breakfasts of our lives.”
― Julio Cabrera, Discomfort and Moral Impediment: The Human Situation, Radical Bioethics and Procreation

“To Never Have been born may be the greatest boon of all”
― Sophocles
