“We are graced with a godlike ability to transcend time and space in our minds but are chained to death.”
― Descartes' Bones: A Skeletal History of the Conflict Between Faith and Reason
― Descartes' Bones: A Skeletal History of the Conflict Between Faith and Reason
“Opinions differ on the question of whether a golden age is something you can experience while it's happening or whether it only comes into focus on reflection...no matter how grand and prosperous and momentous the time in which you are living may be, its grandeur is inevitably stained by the incessant drabness of the present.”
― Amsterdam: A History of the World's Most Liberal City
― Amsterdam: A History of the World's Most Liberal City
“...the curious Dutch classification gedogen, which means 'technically illegal but officially tolerated.”
