“Lusts are like agues; the fit is not always on, and yet the man is not rid of his disease; and some men's lusts, like some agues, have not such quick returns as others.” MenHe ManReturnFitDiseaseLust Author:Herbert Spencer
“I have been moving around all my life. Going to different schools, living in different houses, shedding old roles, assuming new ones. This way of life is as natural to me as staying in one place is for other people. I do variations on the theme. I return to places where I used to be. I find my old personas. I try them on. If they still fit, I wear them out to a party or a show. If they begin to restrict my movements, I take them off. I am a human being, capable of mimicking anything I see or remember or can imagine.” PeopleIfsWayTryingHumansHas BeensStillsDifferentShowsSchoolRememberMovingLife IsUsedHouseNaturalHuman BeingsPartyRolesImagineMovementIdentityReturnFitCapableAssumingUsed To BeThemeStayingVariationPersonaMimicking Book:Falling Through Space Source: Falling Through Space
“I wish people were more like animals. Animals don't try to change you or make you fit in. They just enjoy the pleasure of your company. Animals aren't conditional about friendships. Animals like you just the way you are. They listen to your problems, they comfort you when you're sad, and all they ask in return is a little kindness.” PeopleWayTryingLittlesProblemAsksWishEnjoyPleasureAnimalCompanyKindnessLike YouReturnFitComfortAbout FriendshipConditional Author:Bill Watterson
“Pure love is a willingness to give, without a thought of receiving anything in return. Love can save the world from nuclear destruction. Love God: turn to God with receptiveness and responsiveness. Love your fellow human beings: turn to them with friendliness and givingness. Make yourself fit to be called a child of God by living the way of love.” WorldWayGivingHumansChildrenTurnsHuman BeingsLove IsLove YouReturnFitPureDestructionFellowsNuclearGod LoveWillingnessReceivingChild Of GodSave The WorldPure LoveFriendlinessResponsivenessTurn To GodWay Of LoveNuclear Destruction Book:Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in Her Own Words Source: Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in Her Own Words
“Even in chimps there is true altruistic behaviour; behaviour that doesn't fit into the sociobiological model that says you either help a close relative and thereby your own genes, or you help somebody else now in return for their help in the future. When a very high-ranking male chimpanzee rescues a little orphan, saving his life, that kind of explanation doesn't work.” KindLittlesHelpingReturnFitModelsMalesSavingExplanationRelativeGenesRescueBehaviourOrphanChimpanzeesRanking Author:Jane Goodall
