The tragedy of modern man is not that he knows less and less about the meaning of his own life, but that it bothers him less and less. Václav Havel (5 Oct 1936 – 18 Dec 2011) in Letters to Olga (1988) #inmemory #vaclavhavel #meaning #quote

Every cow just wants to be happy. Every chicken just wants to be free. Every bear, dog, or mouse experiences sorrow and feels pain as intensely as any of us humans do. www.matthieuricard.org/en/books_mr/... #matthieuricard #buddhism #compassion #animals

Bert: You don't solve unhappiness with sex. It's no better than getting drunk. Frieda: But I like sex. I like wine. Bert: Yeah. And you wake up with a headache. You wake up with your unhappiness. You wake up with an empty marriage. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjaD... #biopic #dhlawrence

"How is your health?" "Only fools and libertines get sick, my boy; but you know me—I’m busy from morning till night, I live a temperate life, and so I’m healthy." "Thank God," said the son, smiling. "God has nothing to do with it." -- War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy #quote #health #moderation

"You don't expect to have a stroke at 32. Strangely, after years of overthinking, lying in that hospital bed, my brain suddenly felt quiet. Peaceful, almost.’’ "New life also springs from the remains of a felled tree; I understood that in that sense, I am also a plant." www.instagram.com/yaelweiser/

I know Ruslan personally. He is brave & devoted animal rescuer. Despite being feverish & wounded himself, he managed to apply a tourniquet to a French reporter and drove to the hospital in a wrecked vehicle, with almost no visibility. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e... #ukraine #animalrescue #war

The sidewalk was blockaded with sightseers who had gathered to stare at sightseers, justifying the natural law that every creature on earth is preyed upon by some other creature. O. Henry, Sisters of the Golden Circle (1906) One of my fave writers. #ohenry #inmemory #alltoohuman

Waiting for food. Waiting for a door to open. Waiting for something to change. Waiting within the same boundaries, day after day. Animals deserve more than a life spent waiting. They deserve agency. Choice. Freedom. #borntobefree #cruelentertainment #nocages #animals

Misophonia is a newly-recognised medical condition where the sufferer may develop a hypersensitivity to everyday noises. Early household environments can shape triggers, as family members are frequently the first and most common sources of trigger sounds. #misophonia #misanthropic

“I should like to write about 75–100 new poems, all rather better than anything I’ve ever done before, and dealing with such subjects as Life, Death, Time, Love, and Scenery in such a manner as would render further attention to them by other poets superfluous.” Philip Larkin to Patsy Strang (1953)

To speak well of animals and look sceptically at children can’t please the public very much. It might even irritate it slightly. Not that I have anything against children. But the Kitsch of childhood annoys me. (1980) literaryreview.co.uk/interview-mi... #milankundera #childfree #kitsch

You got to take care of your stuff. You got to have a place for your stuff. That's what life is all about — trying to find a place for your stuff. That's all your house is, a place to keep your stuff! George Carlin "Brain Droppings" (1997) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uf2Q... #hoarding #morestuff

I respect animals. I have more sympathy for an injured or dead animal than I have for an injured or dead human being, because human beings participate and cooperate in their own undoing. Animals are completely innocent. There are no innocent human beings. George Carlin, Brain Droppings #carlin
