Quotes About Existence

Humankind cannot stand very much reality.
~ T. S. Eliot
So far as we are human, what we do must be either evil or good so far as we do evil or good, we are human and it is better, in a paradoxical way, to do evil than to do nothing at least we exist.
~ T. S. Eliot

~ T.S. Eliot
You've said that even if God existed you could not know the mind of God, for that would be a sacrilege from any religious perspective. Divinity is divinity only to the extent that it exceeds the bounds of human understanding, you said. That was one of the statements that made me think of accosting you here. Well, perhaps, happiness is like that too: we cannot really understand the happiness of other people. Or their sorrow.
~ Tabish Khair

~ Tadeusz Konwicki
Co? tam kiedy? by?o. Gwa?towny ruch kszta?tów, barw, okruchów emocji. Moje ?ycie albo cudze. Najpewniej jakie? wymy?lone. Ulepiec z lektur, niespe?nie?, starych filmów, nie doko?czonych roje?, zas?yszanych legend, nie wy?nionych snów. Moje ?ycie. Kotlet z bia?ka i kosmicznego py?u.

Jakie to przygn?biaj?ce, jakie? to obel?ywe, ?e wszystko si? sprowadza do tych kilku pyta? z monologu Hamleta. Min??y wieki, upad?y cywilizacje, odesz?o w nico?? tyle pokole?, a nic si? nie zmieni?o, a tak ma?o si? zmieni?o i nam ta przekl?ta opatrzno?? odbiera z?udn? satysfakcj? pierwsze?stwa, pozbawia autorstwa, czyni nas wiecznymi plagiatorami.
~ Tadeusz Konwicki

Life has no value!' Truly right. It has no value. If you think only of yourself, it has no value. 'Why was I born?' The reason you are here... is because someone supported your life. 'Why was I born? For what purpose?' The reason you are here... is to support lives. If you don't go against how life should be... You're already completely... Free.
~ Takehiko Inoue
