“This is the constitutional limitation of man's knowledge and interests, the fact that he cannot know more than a tiny part of the whole of society and that therefore all that can enter into his motives are the immediate effects which his actions will have in the sphere he knows.” KnowsMenWholeFactsActionInterestEffectsTinyLimitationMotiveSpheres Author:Friedrich August von Hayek
“It does not take a great supernatural heroine or magical hero to save the world.We all save it every day, and we all destroy it -- in our own small ways -- by every choice we make and every tiniest action resulting from that choice.The next time you feel useless and impotent, remember what you are in fact doing in this very moment. And then observe your tiny, seemingly meaningless acts and choices coalesce and cascade together into a powerful positive whole.The world -- if it could -- will thank you for it.And if it does not... well, a true heroine or hero does not require it.” IfsWorldWayFeelsWellsDoeWholeMomentsFactsActionTogetherRememberChoicesNextPowerfulHeroTinyUselessMeaninglessNext TimeSave The WorldHeroinesPowerlessnessCascadeTrue Hero Author:Vera Nazarian

“In our constant search for meaning in this baffling and temporary existence, trapped as we are within our three pounds of neurons, it is sometimes hard to tell what is real. We often invent what isn't there. Or ignore what is. We try to impose order, both in our minds and in our conceptions of external reality. We try to connect. We try to find truth. We dream and we hope. And underneath all of these strivings, we are haunted by the suspicion that what we see and understand of the world is only a tiny piece of the whole.” WorldTryingMindRealSometimesHardWholeDreamRealityOrderThreeExistencePiecesConstantStriveTinyPoundsTemporaryConceptionTrappedSuspicionSearch For MeaningNeurons Book:The Accidental Universe: The World You Thought You Knew Source: The Accidental Universe: The World You Thought You Knew
“I love irony in pictures. There's one photograph from Vietnam by Philip Jones Griffiths that shows a very large GI having his pocket picked by a tiny Vietnamese woman. It told the whole story of the clash of two cultures and how the invader could never win.” TwoWholeStoriesShowsCultureWinningPhotographTinyIronyPocketsVietnamClashPhilipVietnameseInvadersGisTwo Cultures Author:John Pilger
