"…it is one of the intimations of mortality to realize that we only have a certain number of walking miles in us. There are walks we simply won’t make. We’re guaranteed to end our walking days with certain routes and paths still untrodden."

— Geoff Nicholson, The Lost Art of Walking

  • Calvin: Isn’t it strange that evolution would give us a sense of humour? When you think about it, it’s weird that we have a physiological response to absurdity. We laugh at nonsense. We like it. We think it’s funny. Don’t you think it’s odd that we appreciate absurdity? Why would we develop that way? How does it benefit us?
  • Hobbes: I suppose if we couldn’t laugh at things that don’t make sense, we couldn’t react to a lot of life.
  • Calvin: (after a long pause) I can’t tell if that’s funny or really scary.

"What if a demon were to creep after you one night, in your loneliest loneliness, and say, ‘This life which you live must be lived by you once again and innumerable times more; and every pain and joy and thought and sigh must come again to you, all in the same sequence. The eternal hourglass will again and again be turned and you with it, dust of the dust!’ Would you throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse that demon? Or would you answer, ‘Never have I heard anything more divine’?"

If money were not an object, what would you do with your life?

a) go back to school - there were a million other subjects I wanted to learn more about, but didn’t have the time or funds for.
b) use my extra time to learn more languages
c) travel EVERYWHERE
d) learn every fucking instrument I always wanted to but never had time to sit down with

Why not?
