Quote by Ludwig Wittgenstein

“Ich glaube, daß der Mensch sein Leben ganz in allen seinen Handlungen von Eingebungen leiten lassen kann, und ich muß jetzt glauben, daß dies das höchste Leben ist. Ich weiß, daß ich so leben könnte, wenn ich wollte, wenn ich dazu den Mut hätte. Ich habe ihn aber nicht und muß hoffen daß mich das nicht zu Tode, das heißt ewig, unglücklich machen wird.”

“No group of humans has ever been held in as low regard or exploited on anything close to the same level as non-human beings have been throughout history and still are today. No group of humans has ever been systematically bred, raised, killed, and eaten. No group of humans has ever been born and raised in order for people to make basketballs, wallets, or boots out of their skin. No, there is no comparison. No group of humans has ever truly been “treated like animals”.”

“The beautiful agonising mirage of the university was inescapable from. This was a forever she had no part in. The eternity was more real to her for consisting of fiery particles of transience - bridges the punt slid under, raindrops spattering the Cam with vanishing circles, shivered reflections, echoes evaporating, shadows metamorphosizing, distances shifting, glorification coming and going on buildings at a whim of the sun, grass flashing through arches, gasps of primitive breath coming from stones, dusk ebbing from waxen woodwork when doors opened. Holy pillars flowed upward and fountained out, round them being a ceaseless confluence of fanatical colours burningly staining glass. Nothing was at an end, so nothing stood still. And of this living eternity, of its kind and one of its children, had been Henry, walking beside her.”
