Quote

“Humans cannot live without illusions. For the men and women of today, an irrational faith in progress may be the only antidote to nihilism. Without the hope that the future will be better than the past, they could not go on.”
― John Gray, Straw Dogs: Thoughts on Humans and Other Animals

Quote

“Today, for the mass of humanity, science and technology embody 'miracle, mystery, and authority'. Science promises that the most ancient human fantasies will at last be realized. Sickness and ageing will be abolished; scarcity and poverty will be no more; the species will become immortal. Like Christianity in the past, the modern cult of science lives on the hope of miracles. But to think that science can transform the human lot is to believe in magic. Time retorts to the illusions of humanism with the reality: frail, deranged, undelivered humanity. Even as it enables poverty to be diminished and sickness to be alleviated, science will be used to refine tyranny and perfect the art of war.”
― John Gray, Straw Dogs: Thoughts on Humans and Other Animals

Quote

I was born in a prison
With no hope of escape
I got used to the silence
As I stuck in my cage


You cannot miss what you have never seen before
But deep inside you know there must be more
You cannot miss what you have never seen before
But deep inside you know there must be more


I heard a voice but I could not follow
It was a language I didn't know
I’ve seen a light and it used to blind me
Was it real or just a dream


You cannot miss what you have never seen before
But deep inside you know there must be more
You cannot miss what you have never seen before
But deep inside you know there must be more


And as I left, no one tried to stop me
So I learned I was always as free as I wanted to be
I was always as free as a bird
I was always as free as I wanted to be
But I was just too scared to see
Who I could be

“Whenever anyone criticizes or wrongs you, remember that they are only doing or saying what they think is right. They cannot be guided by your views, only their own; so if their views are wrong, they are the ones who suffer insofar as they are misguided.”
― Epictetus, Discourses and Selected Writings
