““Most people don’t want to start swimming before they know how to.” Isn’t that funny? Of course they don’t want to swim! They are made for the land, and not for the water. And of course they don’t want to think; they are created for living and not for thinking! Yes, and he who thinks, he who makes thinking the main case, he can go far but he has swapped land with water and once he will drown.”— Free translation to English from a quote of the book “The Steppenwolf” by Hermann Hesse
“If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed”— Einstein
Look who I got to meet at the Winter Solstice! I made friends with a Mari Lwyd who danced around the fire to my celtic drum under the full moon (she did try to bite off my hand a few times but that’s okay)
