Ralph Waldo Emerson
“When simplicity of character and the sovereignty of ideas is broken up by the prevalence of secondary desires, the desire of riches, of pleasure, of power, and of praise,—and duplicity and falsehood take place of simplicity and truth, the power over nature as an interpreter of the will, is in a degree lost; new imagery ceases to be created, and old words are perverted to stand for things which are not; a paper currency is employed, when there is no bullion in the vaults. In”
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nature

“Real relief from loneliness requires the cooperation of at least one other person, and yet the more chronic our loneliness becomes, the less equipped we may be to entice such cooperation.”
John T. Cacioppo, Loneliness: Human Nature and the Need for Social Connection

Henri Barbusse
“Humanity is the desire for novelty founded upon the fear of death”
Henri Barbusse, Hell

Ailton Krenak
“nosso tempo é especialista em criar ausências: do sentido de viver em sociedade, do próprio sentido da experiência da vida. isso gera uma intolerância muito grande com relação a quem ainda é capaz de experimentar o prazer de estar vivo, de dançar, de cantar. e está cheio de pequenas constelações de gente espalhada pelo mundo que dança, canta, faz chover. o tipo de humanidade zumbi que estamos sendo convocados a integrar não tolera tanto prazer, tanta fruição de vida. então, pregam o fim do mundo como uma possibilidade de fazer a gente desistir dos nossos próprios sonhos. e a minha provocação sobre adiar o fim do mundo é exatamente sempre poder contar mais uma história. se pudermos fazer isso, estaremos adiando o fim.”
Ailton Krenak, Ideias Para Adiar o Fim do Mundo

Henri Barbusse
“It was suicide. Others killed themselves with poison or with a revolver. I killed myself with minutes and hours.”
Henri Barbusse, Hell
