Quote by Cheryl Strayed

“I was reading about animals a while back and there was this motherfucking scientist in France back in the thirties or forties or whenever the motherfuck it was and he was trying to get apes to draw these pictures, to make art pictures like the kinds of pictures in serious motherfucking paintings that you see in museums and shit. So the scientist keeps showing the apes these paintings and giving them charcoal pencils to draw with and then one day one of the apes finally draws something but it’s not the art pictures that it draws. What it draws is the bars of its own motherfucking cage. Its own motherfucking cage! Man, that's the truth, ain't it?”

“Each of us have our natural vibrations, nearly all cultures of the world currently shift towards "western" vibrations, the result is mental health problems. For example, there is no obstacle preventing a great white shark from ending up in Swedish waters - but the shark won't go there voluntarely because it prefers other waters. It's unnatural to be in an environment that we can't resonate with.”
