We are surrounded by the absurd excess of the universe.By meaningless bulk, vastness without size,power without consequence. The stubborn iterationthat is present without being felt.Nothing the spirit can marry. Merely phenomenonand its physics. An endless, endless of going on.No habitat where the brain can recognize itself.No pertinence for the heart. Helpless duplication. Collected Poems

Quote:- We are the bloodof the witches you thought were dead.We carry witchcraft in our boneswhilst magic still singsinside out heads.When the witch huntersimprisoned out ancestorswhen they tried to burn the magic away.Someone should havewarned themthat magic cannot be tamed.Because you cannot burn away what has alwaysbeen aflame.

Quote:- We are the inheritors of a wonderful world, a beautiful world, full of life and mystery, goodness and pain. But likewise are we the children of an indifferent universe. We break our own hearts imposing our moral order on what is, by nature, a wide web of chaos.

Quote:- We are the intelligent elite among animal life on earth and whatever our mistakes, [Earth] needs us. This may seem an odd statement after all that I have said about the way 20th century humans became almost a planetary disease organism. But it has taken [Earth] 2.5 billion years to evolve an animal that can think and communicate its thoughts. If we become extinct she has little chance of evolving another.

Author:- Marty Rubin
Category:- time
Quote:- we are threatened with suffering from three directions: from our body, which is doomed to decay..., from the external world which may rage against us with overwhelming and merciless force of destruction, and finally from our relations with other men... This last source is perhaps more painful to use than any other. (p77)
