Quote by Shon Mehta

“We humans are so self-centred. Even the thoughts after someone’s death are never about them, they are about us. How it makes us feel, how it impacts our lives.”

“It’s neutral creative territory; it’s where we meet when we really want to connect and elevate the game. We’re not here to impose our brand on each other, but to experience, like embodied spiritual hedonists, the richness of what it means to be — well, what it means to exist, period.”

“We will preserve the capacity for independent thought through a society so heterogeneous that it will make our own look trite. We will intentionally craft new ethnicities, religions, and ways of existing. The genome will be our canvas and flesh our clay. Man is a young species. We still occupy the same bodies with which our ancestors hunted and picked berries. We are so trapped by the limitations of our biology that we lack the capacity to conceive our ultimate potential.”

“We meet at school, or work, or maybe a store. Wherever it is, there's just a random group of individuals, right? Within that group, you find your mate. If you were in a different group, you' d end up with a different mate, right? But we never dwell on that. We live our lives in the groups we have - in our cities, our countries, even though we didn't choose them. Know what I mean? We like to tell ourselves it's love, that we're choosing our own partners. But in reality, we're just playing the cards we've been dealt.”

“মানুষের রসনা বড় ভয়ানক বস্তু; সে-রসনা বিষাক্ত সাপের রসনার চেয়েও ভয়ঙ্কর হতে পারে। প্রক্ষিপ্ত সে-রসনা তার বিষে পরিবারকে-পরিবার ধ্বংস করে দিতে পারে, নিমেষে আগুন ধরিয়ে দিতে পারে সমগ্র পৃথিবীতে।”

“These are all common principles of salesmanship. The most ignorant peddler applies them. Yet the salesman-in-print very often forgets them. He talks about his interest. He blazons a name, as though that was of importance. His phrase is, “Drive people to the stores,” and that is his attitude in everything he says. People can be coaxed but not driven. Whatever they do they do to please themselves. Many fewer mistakes would be made in advertising if these facts were never forgotten.”
