“You see this incredible capacity for replication in nature, survival, development, all of these things that are around us all the time in nature that just happen.

“A primatologist told me you can find love in the eyes of an orangutan. It's that old primate gleam that goes back thousands of years and can penetrate the deepest gloom of the jungle. Nothing can deter that gleam, which is why we primates have survived for so long to meet and procreate. In prison, the survival of romance is not easy, but it finds a way ...

“Back when we were Neanderthals or whatever, we evolved to think along tribal lines. Survival was based on this idea of who are we and who are the others who will come and take our resources. I think it's an animal and a human thing that we all see in terms of us vs. them, and race is a very easy way to separate who is us and who is them.” ThinkingWayHumansIdeasEasyTermLinesAnimalRaceSurvivalResourcesBack WhenEasy WayNeanderthals Author:Jordan Peele
“My nation faces a fundamental challenge - survival. The regime is more threatened than ever before. My forefathers had it easy. The Great Leader, my grandfather, ruled with the support of the world's other superpower at the time, the Soviet Union, as well as our China. But today, the Soviet Union is history and China has become more integrated with the Western system. And the United States seeks regime change in my country. And yet, we have survived with our ideology and system intact. How? Because we have built a protection for ourselves in the form of nuclear weapons.” CountryTodayEasyChallengesLeaderSupportSurvivalWesternProtectionIdeologySovietNuclear WeaponsGrandfatherSoviet UnionMy GrandfatherGreat LeaderIntegratedSuperpowerForefathers Author:Kim Jong-un
“I think comedy is so much easier to do on the page than it is in real life. When I'm writing, comedy is an easy way to win over the reader. You're automatically more disposed to keep reading, thinking maybe, "I'll get another laugh or two." I think it's a survival instinct in me. I mean, you don't want to lose these guys within five or ten pages. You want them to keep going. I think to some extent it's a desperate measure that I throw out there, because a novel isn't a complete waste of time if it made you laugh.” ThinkingWritingMeanRealGuyReadingWinningEasyNovelLaughingComedySurvivalInstinctReal LifeDesperateKeep GoingWasting Time Author:Joshua Ferris

“I looked at her. Sheila was my girl--the girl I wanted--and wanted for keeps. But it wasn't any use having illusions about her. Sheila was a liar and probably always would be a liar. It was her way of fighting for survival--the quick easy glib denial. It was a child's weapon--and she'd probably never got out of using it. If I wanted Sheila, I must accept her as she was--be at hand to prop up the weak places. We've all got our weak places.

“Survival, with honor, that outmoded and all-important word, is as difficult as ever and as all-important to a writer. Those who do not last are always more beloved since no one has to see them in their long, dull, unrelenting, no-quarter-given-and-no-quarter-received, fights that they make to do something as they believe it should be done before they die. Those who die or quit early and easy and with every good reason are preferred because they are understandable and human. Failure and well-disguised cowardice are more human and more beloved.” ShouldBelieveHumansWellsLongImportantReasonDoneLastsDiesFightingGivenEasyDifficultHonorSurvivalVery GoodQuittingBelovedDullQuartersCowardiceUnrelentingImportant Words Author:Ernest Hemingway
