“Our culture is based in the profundity things carry. We’re always trying to see the world the way our ancestors did—we feel less of a relationship to the natural world. There was a time when we dictated our beliefs and told ourselves what was real, or what was wrong or right. There weren’t any abstractions. We knew that our language came before the world.”
― Terese Marie Mailhot, Heart Berries: A Memoir

“... you know that soft is stronger than hard, water stronger than rocks, love stronger than force.”
― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha
