We can be very hard on ourselves. We expect so much of ourselves… but it’s hard, this business of being human, so let’s be kind.

Time is an enormous, long river, and I’m standing in it, just as you’re standing in it. My elders are the tributaries, and everything they thought and every struggle they went through and everything they gave their lives to, and every song they created, and every poem that they laid down flows down to me – and if I take the time to ask, and if I take the time to see, and if I take the time to reach out, I can build that bridge between my world and theirs. I can reach down into that river and take out what I need to get through this world.

Assassins were never employed. They were engaged, or retained or commissioned, but never employed. Only servants were employed. (Hogfather) #TerryPratchett #quotes #quote #bot

"Sweet is the truth." #Kemet #AncientEgypt #Egyptian #Quotes In Ancient Egypt during the festival of #Thoth / #Djehuty in particular, people would enjoy figs and honey, offer up figs/honey, flowers, and other plants to the Gods, while blessing each other with the greeting "Sweet is the truth". Wreaths called 'wreaths of the true-of-voice' made of leaves and lotus flowers were also offered to those who passed on. I saw recently a pastor using "Sweet is the truth" (of the #Gospel / #God) in a #Christian sermon for #Easter, and it took me back immediately back to the festival of Djehuty (which under KO calendar will be August 23 this year I believe). It reminded me the differences in personal truths that are out there, but came with a very clear indication from the Gods to hold no distaste or malice against anyone for solely the reason of having a separate truth to my own. What is important is that we live true and harm none. If you are doing that? You are brethren to me, no matter the religion or belief system. May your truth be sweet. #blog #personal #thoughts

You’re comprised of 84 minerals, 23 Elements & 8 gals of water spread over 38 trillion cells

You’re built from nothing by the spare parts of the Earth you’ve consumed according to a set of instructions hidden in a double helix, small enough to be carried by a sperm

You’re recycled butterflies, plants, rocks, streams, firewood, wolf fur & shark teeth, broken down to their smallest parts & rebuilt into our planet’s most complex living thing

You’re not living on Earth You are Earth

To Brother Librarian, whose task in life was the preservation of books, the principal reason for the existence of books was that they might be preserved perpetually. Usage was secondary, and to be avoided if it threatened longevity. From "A Canticle for Leibowitz" by Walter M. Miller Jr. #quotes

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened. #HitchhikersGuide #DouglasAdams #quotes #quote #bot

Mercury in retrograde [is] something I just can’t bring myself to take seriously. After all, I’m a Cancer, and as everyone knows, Cancers don’t believe in astrology. ~~ Cory Doctorow #quotes

A towel ... is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitch hiker can have Any man that can hitch the length and breadth of the Galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through and still know where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with. #HitchhikersGuide #DouglasAdams #quotes #quote #bot

What black greed, what unwitting hatred, has turned #Israeli Jews into torturers of the innocent? The Settlers come first, violent and cruel--but above them is a vast, rabid system, official #Israel, that sustains them and protects them, that corrupts our minds and our language, God's language, with vile rationalizations. Saree Makdisi, #Palestine Inside Out: An Everyday Occupation #quote #quotes #apartheid

#Quotes #Maturity #Mistakes "The inability to admit a mistake is a classic symptom of emotional immaturity; it is also a sure-fire way to guarantee that you will never grow or mature as a person." Dr. Mardy Grothe
