Let us, then, take our compass; we are something, and we are not everything.

Penetrate deeply in the secret existence of anyone about you, even of the man or woman whom you count happiest, and you will come upon things they spend all their efforts to hide.

The supposed astronomical proofs of the theory of relativity, as cited and claimed by Einstein, do not exist. He is a confusionist. The Einstein theory is a fallacy.

Charles Lane Poor

Even though we have always been present in this created universe, we now became flesh and blood. It would be like this bird (a jay), whose nature it is to fly, choosing to only walk and remain grounded. He doesn't stop being a bird, but it does alter his experience of life significantly.
William P. Young

Every new born being indeed comes fresh and blithe into the new existence, and enjoys it as a free gift: but there is, and can be, nothing freely given. It's fresh existence is paid for by the old age and death of a worn out existence which has perished, but which contained the indestructible seed out of which the new existence has arisen: they are one being.
Arthur Schopenhauer
-
