“All that remains is a fate whose outcome alone is fatal. Outside of that single fatality of death, everything, joy or happiness, is liberty. A world remains of which man is the sole master. What bound him was the illusion of another world. The outcome of his thought, ceasing to be renunciatory, flowers in images. It frolics-\-\-in myths, to be sure, but myths with no other depth than that of human suffering and, like it, inexhaustible. Not the divine fable that amuses and blinds, but the terrestrial face, gesture, and drama in which are summed up a difficult wisdom and an ephemeral passion.” MenWorldHumansFacesJoySufferingPassionDifficultLibertyFateDivineFlowerMastersDramaIllusionRemainsDepthBoundsMythOutcomesGesturesSoleMe AloneAnother WorldFablesEphemeralHuman SufferingFatalityAll That Remains Author:Albert Camus

“A failure remains a failure only if we refuse to learn from it. Any situation that teaches us greater humility, sobriety, wisdom about self and others, responsibility, forgiveness, depth of reflection, and better decision making -\-\teaching us what's truly important-\-\is not an ultimate failure. Sometimes what we deem a failure at the time it happens actually serves to foster a change within us that creates an even greater success down the road.” IfsImportantSelfSometimesHappensDecisionResponsibilitySituationTeachGreaterTeachingHumilityReflectionUltimateRemainsDepthRefuseDecision MakingSobrietyDown The Road Author:Marianne Williamson

“It is to them [fossils] alone that we owe the commencement of even a Theory of the Earth ... By them we are enabled to ascertain, with the utmost certainty, that our earth has not always been covered over by the same external crust, because we are thoroughly assured that the organized bodies to which these fossil remains belong must have lived upon the surface before they came to be buried, as they now are, at a great depth.” BodyEarthScienceTheoryRemainsDepthSurfaceCertaintyOrganizedCoveredBuriedFossilsAssuredGeologyCommencement Author:Georges Cuvier

“Between gods and men, territories are set up. At least in the no-man’s land of the heights of heaven, the depths of hell, and inside the boundary traced by the oceans. Dimensions installed by a cosmogonic trilogy that leaves each term in its generic place. There remains the earth ancestress, a fourth term, that was once the most fertile, that has been progressively buried and forgotten beneath the architectonic of patriarchal sovereignty. And this murder erupts in the form of ambivalences that have constantly to be solved and hierarchized, in twinned pairs of more or less good doubles.” MenHas BeensEarthFormHeavenTermHellLandOceanMurderRemainsDepthForgottenBoundariesHeightDimensionsPairsTerritoryBuriedFourthSovereigntyFertileGenericAmbivalenceTrilogies Author:Luce Irigaray
