Quote by Gabriel Chevallier

“It was true that the elders found everything changing all about them with a precipitation which was leaving them stripped of authority. The girls (kids they remembered no bigger than that) suddenly flowered and married. The lads returned from their military service with blasé airs and a new vocabulary. A horde of new brats was born, making their disprespectful uproar in Clochemerle.”

“All beings of the world are in a constant state of either coming into being or going out of being. Resignation of the soul is the final act in a one-character play. Given our genetic defect of mortality, it is impossible not to question the why and wherefore of our existence. It is understandable why each of us must ask what life is all about, and for that matter, constantly inquire what is next. Where does the headwater of our existence spring from and where will the divergent stream of life take us? Do the still waters that gently slide by compose the tranquil waters relished by lentic lakeside creatures? What lies ahead in the burbling headwaters of tomorrow? Does nourishing brain food wait for lotic inhabitants to feast upon in the turbulent rapids and airy froth of the future? Vagueness, doubt, and insecurity shroud the future. The only thing certain is that the effervescence culled from our dynamic immersion in the firth of today will expose our material composition.”

“We live on a global landscape of which its strings are coming loose and floating out of the tapestry to realign themselves elsewhere. Who knows what the new tapestry is going to look like? The only way to survive this changing landscape, is by letting go to float alongside the transient threads of reality, and like those strings, allowing ourselves to realign wherever we may land. I call it the "re-stringing". There's going to be nothing and nowhere left for you, if you hold onto old tapestries that are now evaporating and transforming into what is new and unknown.”

“People have always been hiding their problems behind an era like a playboy magazine under a bed. It’s always the century that is to blame until it becomes history. And blaming it, people would forget a bit that it is them who are meant to shape it.”
