forest fire

ego, mad world, philosophy, quotations, worth living for 1 Comment »

“I hope that you are a disaster. I’m sorry, but I do. I hope that you are thunder and lightning. I hope you are a forest fire, I hope you kill the dead wood and burn off the rotting leaves. With the canopy gone, the sun can get in. You need new growth. I hope you’re terrible and broken and perfect.”

– Joey Comeau

man is but a reed

philosophy, quotations 0 Comment »

“Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed. A vapor, a drop of water, is enough to kill a human being. But even if the universe should crush him, man would still be more noble than that which destroys him, because he knows that he dies, and he realizes the advantage that the universe possesses over him; the universe knows nothing of this.”

– Blaise Pascal
