Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
“In the final analysis, the questions of why bad things happen to good people transmutes itself into some very different questions, no longer asking why something happened, but asking how we will respond, what we intend to do now that it happened.”
Pierre Teilhard De Chardin

“The universe as we know it is a joint product of the observer and the observed.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin”

David Abram
“A story must be judged according to whether it makes sense. And 'making sense' must be here understood in its most direct meaning: to make sense is to enliven the senses. A story that makes sense is one that stirs the senses from their slumber, one that opens the eyes and the ears to their real surroundings, tuning the tongue to the actual tastes in the air and sending chills of recognition along the surface of the skin. To make sense is to release the body from the constraints imposed by outworn ways of speaking, and hence to renew and rejuvenate one's felt awareness of the world. It is to make the senses wake up to where they are.”
David Abram, The Spell of the Sensuous: Perception and Language in a More-Than-Human World

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
“We are one, after all, you and I, together we suffer, together exist, and forever will recreate each other.”
Teilhard de Chardin

Robert Frost
“Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life; define yourself.”
Robert Frost
