Sitting still is a pain in the ass. Against the Stream: A Buddhist Manual for Spiritual Revolutionaries
SEE AUTHOR
Quote:- Sitting there on the heather, on our planetary grain, I shrank from the abysses that opened up on every side, and in the future. The silent darkness, the featureless unknown, were more dread than all the terrors that imagination had mustered. Peering, the mind could see nothing sure, nothing in all human experience to be grasped as certain, except uncertainty itself; nothing but obscurity gendered by a thick haze of theories. Man's science was a mere mist of numbers; his philosophy but a fog of words. His very perception of this rocky grain and all its wonders was but a shifting and a lying apparition. Even oneself, that seeming-central fact, was a mere phantom, so deceptive, that the most honest of men must question his own honesty, so insubstantial that he must even doubt his very existence.

Quote:- Sixty-five million years ago, an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs, but in so doing opened the way forward for mammals. Today, humankind is driving many species into extinction and might even annihilate itself. But other organisms are doing quite well. Rats and cockroaches, for example, are in their heyday. These tenacious creatures would probably creep out from beneath the smoking rubble of a nuclear Armageddon, ready and able to spread their DNA. Perhaps 65 million years from now, intelligent rats will look back gratefully on the decimation wrought by humankind, just as we today can thank that dinosaur-busting asteroid.

Quote:- Sixty-seven-year-old Claudia, on a pavement awash with packaged American matrons, crying not in grief but in wonder that nothing is ever lost, that everything can be retrieved, that a lifetime is not linear but instant. That, inside the head, everything happens at once.

Quote:- Skepticism is the agent of reason against organized irrationalism--and is therefore one of the keys to human social and civic decency.
Author:- Stephen Jay Gould
Category:- philosophy,science
Quote:- Skepticism is thus a resting-place for human reason, where it can reflect upon its dogmatic wanderings and make survey of the region in which it finds itself, so that for the future it may be able to choose its path with more certainty. But it is no dwelling-place for permanent settlement. Such can be obtained only through perfect certainty in our knowledge, alike of the objects themselves and of the limits within which all our knowledge of objects is enclosed.

Quote:- Skorri heldur því fram að ein af ástæðum þess að tíminn er okkur svona mikil ráðgáta sé að við hugsum um hann út frá þrám okkar annars vegar og minningum hins vegar. Þaðan komi aðgreining okkar í fortíð og framtíð. Hins vegar séu minningar og þrár sama fyrirbærið. Þú manst það sem þú þráir, þú þráir það sem þú manst. Nei, lífið er svo sannarlega ekki einföld saga fram á við.Fortíðin bíður fyrir framan okkur.Lífið er hreyfing í áttina til hennar.

Quote:- Sky looks exactly like the seaAnd feels like poetry in tearsSoil wet, with all that blue and greenSpaces so full of in betweenI drop the weight and light it feelsBlurred lines and boardersDisappearAnd these high hopesAnd Stretched out wingsMean , I surrender into TheeI walk through glory of your arch Aspiring to leave my markI'm ready to forsake my feet That ever stumbled in the dark. Look at me, I'm here! - I scream,Feels like being ripped apart.
