Firsts Quotes

“We live counterfeit lives in order to resemble the idea we first had of ourselves.”

Firsts Ideas Order Identity Counterfeit Self Identity

Author:Andre Gide

“Those who first invented and then named the constellations were storytellers. Tracing an imaginary line between a cluster of stars gave them an image and an identity. The stars threaded on that line were like events threaded on a narrative. Imagining the constellations did not of course change the stars, nor did it change the black emptiness that surrounds them. What it changed was the way people read the night sky.”
