Versatility Quotes

“Water is the most versatile of all elements. It isn't afraid to burn in fire or fade into the sky, it doesn't hesitate to shatter against sharp rocks in rainfall or drown into the dark shroud of the earth. It exists beyond all eginnings and ends. On the surface nothing will shift, but deep in underground silence, water will hide and with soft fingers coax a new channel for itself, until stone gives in and slowly settles around the secret space.
Death is water's close companion, and neither of them can be separated from us, for we are made of the versatilitiy of water and the closeness of death. Water doesn't belong to us, be we belong to water: when it has passed through our fingers and pores and bodies, nothing separates us from earth.”
― Emmi Itäranta, Memory of Water

“Aurora was romantic and brooding and heartbreaking and volatile all at once. In the age of arena rock, Daisy Jones & The Six managed to create something that felt intimate even though it could still play to a stadium. They had the impenetrable drums and the searing solos—they had songs that felt relentless in the best way possible. But the album also felt up close and personal. Billy and Daisy felt like they were right next to you, singing just to each other.
“And it was deeply layered. That was the biggest thing Aurora had going for it. It sounds like a good-time album when you first listen to it. It’s an album you can play at a party. It’s an album you get high to. It’s an album you can play as you’re speeding down the highway.
“But then you listen to the lyrics and you realize this is an album you can cry to. And it’s an album you can get laid to.
“For every moment of your life, in 1978, Aurora could play in the background.
“And from the moment it was released, it was a juggernaut.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, Daisy Jones & The Six

“If you’re ignoring a high percentage of the elements of your entire being, and the range of qualities they can naturally engage, there will be no real recovery or progress until you do. The typical relentless worker is just as lazy as the typical indulgent idler; they’re both just going through the habitual motions. To break the repetitive pattern, and discover more energy and effectiveness, one simply must stretch out in all directions, rotating focus and application of the qualities that make up one’s natural versatility.”

“We've lulled ourselves into believing that in an emergency, someone else will always come along to rescue us. We've stopped relying on our own wonderfully adaptable bodies; we've forgotten that we can think, climb, leap, run, throw, swim, and fight with more versatility than any other creature on the planet.”
― Christopher McDougall, Natural Born Heroes: How a Daring Band of Misfits Mastered the Lost Secrets of Strength and Endurance

“Ausruhmantra
Wir sind zerbrochen, das macht uns knackig.

Wir sind begraben, das macht uns geduldig.

Wir sind vergessen, das macht uns unzerstörbar.

Wir sind besiegt, das macht uns klüger.

Wir sind eine Art Staub, und eine Art Gold, und eine Art Hoffnung, und eine Art Irrtum.
Wir sind über und über mit winzigen Fehlern bedeckt, uns wer uns unter all diesen Fehlern dennoch erkenn kann, gehört zu uns.”
― Dietmar Dath, Verbotene Verbesserungen

Specialization is for insects.”
