Quote by Virginia Woolf

“The human frame being what it is, heart, body and brain all mixed together, and not contained in separate compartments as they will be no doubt in another million year, a good dinner is of great importance to good talk. One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.”

“Humans became a being of the mind. And, if this mind does not turn towards the truth, it remains attached to specific, individual realities or assumptions of multiple minds. The cutting of the cables connecting to the divine source (revelations) leads to the conclusion that mentally generated values only concern one’s self. As long as each individual searches for their own truth, many subjective truths that are different from the Divine Truth arise. This is the result of modern philosophy, which has created an insurmountable gap between Mind / Soul and Me / the Other.”

“Self-destruction seems to be an aberration peculiar to the human condition. Aren’t man’s miseries of his making, brought about by his own debilities? And yet, while lamenting over his shortcomings, he tends to blame it on life! But life seems to understand man more than he does it. Well, to preclude him from perishing in grief, life infuses in him hope for sustenance. Besides, by imparting an existential ethos in him to avert the cascade of tragedy--of human extinction--life seems to countervail itself to keep up its propagation.”
