“Music exists when rhythmic, melodic or harmonic order is deliberately created, and consciously listened to, and it is only language-using, self-conscious creatures ... who are capable of organizing sounds in this way, either when uttering them or when perceiving them. We can hear music in the song of the nightingale, but it is music that no nightingale has heard.” WaySelfSongOrderLanguageSoundMusicHeardCreaturesCapableConsciousSelf ConsciousNightingales Book:Understanding Music: Philosophy and Interpretation Source: Understanding Music: Philosophy and Interpretation

“In fact, numerous scientific laboratory tests and field observations have led to the conclusion that animals are conscious, intelligent, emotional beings. They are not machines and truly feel physical pain when it is inflicted upon them.

Black women are subject to so many societal messages that tell them they are not beautiful, smart, or capable.

It preaches that despite the pressures I face, I glow more than ever before.” BeautifulGirlBlackMagicAcceptanceRevolutionCapableSmartConsciousHatredMisogynyBlack WomenBlack Girl Author:Amandla Stenberg
“Our modern world-view tragically misperceives and wrongly defines what it is to be human. We are conditioned by our society to believe happiness comes from pleasure, or from getting things or power over people or money or fame or even health and survival. None of these sometimes very good things can bring ultimate meaning to our lives. We are born to be deeply conscious, inwardly free and deeply capable of love. The longing for these things is the definition of what it means to be human.” PeopleBelieveMeanSometimesPleasureModernFameSurvivalCapableConsciousUltimateLongingGood ThingsVery Good Author:Jacob Needleman
“Further conceive, I beg, that a stone, while continuing in motion, should be capable of thinking and knowing, that it is endeavoring, as far as it can, to continue to move. Such a stone, being conscious merely of its own endeavor and not at all indifferent, would believe itself to be completely free, and would think that it continued in motion solely because of its own wish. This is that human freedom, which all boast that they possess, and which consists solely in the fact, that men are conscious of their own desire, but are ignorant of the causes whereby that desire has been determined.” ThinkingMenShouldBelieveHumansHas BeensFactsMovingDesireWishCausesKnowingCapableConsciousStonesDeterminedIgnorantEndeavorContinuingIndifferentBoastHuman Freedom Author:Baruch Spinoza
