Quotes About Existence

The world is everything that is the case. And in the second place because. Did I throw the most important thing perhaps, by accident, away?
~ Renata Adler
Maybe there are stories, even, like solitaire or canasta; they are shuffled and dealt, then they do or they do not come out. Or the deck falls on the floor. Or a piece of country music, a quartet, a parade, the flag—all the things one ought by now to be too old for—touch, whatever it is.
~ Renata Adler

although we very clearly see the sun, we ought not therefore to determine that it is only of the size which our sense of sight presents; and we may very distinctly imagine the head of a lion joined to the body of a goat, without being therefore shut up to the conclusion that a chimaera exists; for it is not a dictate of reason that what we thus see or imagine is in reality existent; but it plainly tells us that all our ideas or notions contain in them some truth.

~ Rene Descartes
The wild is where you find it, not in some distant world relegated to a nostalgic past or an idealized future; its presence is not black or white, bad or good, corrupted or innocent... We are of that nature, not apart from it. We survive because of it, not instead of it.
~ Renée Askins
Reality is not static—its properties are in constant flux, so perhaps we are as much in the world as we can ever be, and that's the problem.

Du är energi och energi kan inte skapas eller förstöras. Energi ändrar bara form. Och det betyder Du! Den sanna essensen av det som är Du, den rena energin som är Du, har alltid funnits och kommer alltid att finnas. Du kan inte sluta med att vara [...] Du är evig energi.
