“To invent a story, or admirably and thoroughly tell any part of a story, it is necessary to grasp the entire mind of every personage concerned in it, and know precisely how they would be affected by what happens; which to do requires a colossal intellect: but to describe a separate emotion delicately, it is only needed that one should feel it oneself; and thousands of people are capable of feeling this or that noble emotion, for one who is able to enter into all the feelings of someone sitting on the other side of the table.” PeopleKnowsFeelsShouldMindStoriesFeelingsHappensWould BeAbleSidesEmotionNeededCapableSittingConcernedTablesOneselfIntellectNobleAffectedColossal Author:John Ruskin
“We are, in fact, hyper-dimentional objects of some sort which cast a shadow into matter, and the shadow in matter is the body. And at death, what happens basically, is that the shadow withdraws, or the thing which cast the shadow withdraws, and metabolism ceases, and matter which had been organized into a dissipative structure in a very localized area, sustaining itself against entropy by cycling material in and degrading it and expelling it, that whole phenomenon ceases, but the thing which ordered it is not affected by that.” MatterWholeFactsBodyHappensObjectsMaterialsShadowAreasStructureCastsCeaseOrganizedAffectedPhenomenonCyclingSustainingHyperDegradingEntropyMetabolism Author:Terence McKenna
