[litandlifequotes]

 In this space of which they are so afraid, human beings learn how to live and to die, in their own mental space, separation, distance and suffering are born. There is little to add to this. The lover hears his lover’s voice over mountains and oceans; over mountains and oceans a mother hears the cry of her child. Love birds, and it binds for ever. Good binds while evil unravels. Separation is another word for deceit. All that exists is magnificent, interweaving, vast and reciprocal.

“Sometimes he cycles cross-country, pedalling as hard as he can, filling his lungs with a taste of the infinite. He does not know it yet, but the infinity of childhood is a brief one. The countryside flashes past.”

“Every week, he watched ‘The Animal Kingdom.’ But as he watched, the unshakable conviction grew that nature, taken as a whole, was a repulsive cesspit. All in all, nature deserved to be to be wiped out in a holocaust— and man’s mission on Earth was probably to do just that.”

“Graceful animals like gazelles and antelopes spent their days in abject terror while lions and panthers lived out their lives in listless imbecility punctuated by explosive bursts of cruelty. They slaughtered weaker animals before falling back into a brutish sleep.”

“Later, reading Nietzsche provoked only a brief irritation, and Kant served only to confirm what he already knew, that perfect morality is unique and universal. Nothing is added to it and nothing changes over the course of time. It is not dependent on history, economics, sociology or culture; it is not dependent on anything. Not determined, it determines; not conditioned it conditions. It is, in other words, absolute.”
