Quote by Jennifer Wright

“It’s easy to forget that people from the past weren’t the two-dimensional black-and-white photos or line drawings you might encounter in some dry textbooks. They weren’t just gray-faced guys in top hats. They were living, breathing, joking, burping people, who could be happy or sad, funny or boring, cool or the lamest people you ever met in your life. They had no idea they were living in the past. They all thought they were living in the present.”

“It’s a peculiar feature of human nature that we love to see those close to us climb up the staircase of success, but, behind us. If they happen to catch up with us, needing to share the space with them, we feel choked, and were they to overtake us, we feel morose, though they might remain friendly. It is because, used as we were to condescend to descend in our affections, we lose countenance, not counting our jealousy, that they too might seem patronizing from the altered stations." Benign Flame: Saga of Love”

“The truth is, Homo sapiens sapiens is pretty much the same the world over, regardless of skin color or technological development. Racists and provincial types have problems with this fact, but it is a fact. All mortals have the same potential, and only chance determines who's playing a spinet or who's clubbing dinner to death with a big rock. And, you know what? Mortals adapt to the environment in which they're placed. Switch babies between savages and technologicals, and nobody notices! I know, because I've seen it done. I've seen the son of a club-carrying cave dweller fuming because his accounting software wan't quite adequate for his needs. All humans have the same brain package.”

“The quality of Atmospheric Air turning out to be better step by step, River Water is a lot of cleaner then in recent years, Feathered creatures are tweeting and flying valiantly as no odds of getting chased and killed, Wild creatures has better space and air to wander and breath, A huge number of Plants and Trees are spared in these couple of days, The Human insatiability to uncover the assets at on Halt, The Temperatures close to icebergs serving to keep up their weight for some additional time, Angles and other ocean creatures not accepting bogus ask, Sky is absolutely more Clear... And at Some place far the lord of all the religion saying thanks to coronavirus for sparing the nature from the most obliterating animal on this planet "Human". No big surprise nature underpins Coronavirus!!!”
