Simone de Beauvoir, from Diary of a Philosophy Student: Volume 1, 1926-27

Text ID: I observe how much I have matured since last year despite my belief that I was losing myself, how something strong was born from the painful experiences survived and from the numerous minutes that I believed were wasted.

“Frightened of change? But what can exist without it? What’s closer to nature’s heart? Can you take a hot bath and leave the firewood as it was? Eat food without transforming it? Can any vital process take place without something being changed? Can’t you see? It’s just the same with you — and just as vital to nature.”

— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations (7.18)

Look, we are not unspectacular things.     We’ve come this far, survived this much. What

What if we stood up with our synapses and flesh and said, No.       No, to the rising tides.

— Ada Limón, from “Dead Stars,” published in The Cortland Review
