We cling to our own point of view, as though everything depended on it. Yet our opinions have no permanence; like autumn and winter, they gradually pass away.

Perhaps the thing that makes humans truly unique on Earth is that we are never satisfied with our situation; maybe that is what's taken us so far.

When you get to see the world, it changes you. You realise that there are all kinds of people out there.

So if we have anything original to offer, it's to speak from our own life about the society we're in.

As I grow older, the idea takes increasing hold in me that we've misunderstood our own delicacy and diversity as human beings.

When something is universal enough in our everyday lives, we take it for granted to the point of forgetting it exists.

Often we lose our identity trying to please or placate others.

More often than we realize, people see in us what we don't see in ourselves.

Whatever we, as prospective participants unaware of our specific features, would desire society to be like is what, morally speaking, we ought to institute.
