"One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it.
But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief,
that is a fate more terrible than dying."
Joan of Arc
"To invent one's self was to resist the inventions of others:
to forge was to author."
Isabella Hammad, The Parisian
"Many came together in Wales at the top of Llanberis Pass, at a place called Pen y Pass. By day they would climb and by night they would sing, recite poetry, debate, and argue. In ways impossibly innocent to the contemporary eye, they explored dreams of purity and purpose in a new century where all that mattered was authenticity and beauty, loyalty and friendship."
Wade Davis, Into the Silence
"Frontiers are the razor's edge, " Curzon famously wrote, "on which hang suspended the issue of war or peace and the life of nations." ....Boundaries and borders were rumors. No one knew where the Himalaya ended and the Hindu Kush began. The Karakoram and Pamirs had scarcely been penetrated. The hidden ranges of Tibet lay uncharted and unknown. Between 1750 and 1900, only three Westerners had reached the Tibetan capital of Lhasa."
Wade Davis, Into the Silence
"I am arguing that the idea of God has persisted through thousands of years
and thousands of cultural changes neither because God is an independently existing being in control of the universe nor because it's a purely psychological need.
God persists and always will because it's a fundamental characteristic of the connection between ourselves and the universe."
