“Milzīgas savstarpēji nepazīstamu ļaužu masas spēj veiksmīgi sadarboties, ja tās tic kopīgiem mītiem.”

“Sapiensi spēj viegli kooperēties ar jebkuru skaitu svešinieku. Lūk, kapēc pār pasauli valda sapiensi, bet skudras pievāc mūsu ēdiena paliekas un šimpanzes sēž krātiņos zoodārzos.”

“Bet varbūt tieši tāpēc mūsu senči arī iznīcināja neandertāliešus: pārāk līdzīgus, lai tos ignorētu, bet pārāk citādus, lai paciestu?”

“Why do you care that I’m dead when you’re still so afraid to live?”

“We all get dealt cards. Some of us get better cards than others. And ehile it’s easy to get hung up on our cards, and feel we got screwed over, the real game lies in the choices we make with those cards, the risks we decide to take, and the consequences we choose to live with.” Winners are not necessarily the people with best cards

“The anger is merely the messanger for my fist in your face. Don’t blame the messenger. Blame my fist (or your face).”

“I was in love with the result - the image of me on stage, people cheering, me rocking out, pouring my heart into what I was playing - but I wasn’t in love with the process. And because of that, I failed at it. Repeatedly. Who you are is defined by what you’re willing to struggle for.”

“If I ask you, what do you want from life? and you say something like, I want to be happy and have a great family and a job I like, your response is so common and expected that it doesn’t really mean anything.” Guiltyy, šī gramata exposo mani🥲

“Don’t hope for a life without problems. There’s no such thing. Instead, hope for a life full of good problems.”

“Ironically , this fixation on the positive - on what’s better, what’s superior - only serves to remind us over and over again pf what we are not, of what we lack, of what we should jave been but failed to be. After all, no truly happy person feels the need to stand in front of a mirror and recite that she’s happy. She just is.”

“To die hating them, that was freedom.”

“Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.”

“For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the dorce of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangable? If both the past and the external world exist only in mind, and id the mind itself is controllable - what then?”

“It struck him as curious that you could create dead men but not living ones.”

“Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimetres inside your skull.”

“Putna spārns biedri, ir orgāns, kas paredzēts virzībai hz priekšu, nevis manipulācijām. Tādēļ to varētu uzskatīt arī par kāju.” Es dabūju savu atbildi par putnu kājām

“Katrs kas staigā uz divām kājām, ir ienaidnieks” bet kā ar visiem putniem?🥲

Kapec cilveki dara suicide bombibgs busos😭

“When the outcomes are bad, the clients often blame their agents for not seeing the handwriting on the wall - forgetting that it was written in invisible ink that became legible only afterward.”

“But I don’t want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness, I want sin.”

“I’m thinking of a queer feeling I sometimes get, a feeling that I’ve got something to say and the power to say it - only I don’t know what it is, and I can’t make any use of the power. If there was some different way of writing… Or else something else to write about…”

“How could ghosts be hungry? But it made perfect sense to me now: The longing for the food you could no longer eat. The memory of having a body. People were constantly giving ghosts food, the day of the Dead; even halloween was about nothing so much as candy. What the dead wanted, above all else, was to eat, to cram their mouths full, to be part of it again: life. Bloody, squirming, pulsing, hungry life.”
