“A poet can survive everything but a misprint.”
Oscar Wilde
“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.”
Charles Darwin

Gao Xingjian

Albert Einstein
“Someone was hurt before you; wronged before you; beaten before you; humiliated before you; raped before you; yet, someone SURVIVED”
Maya Angelou
“For most of history, people have been on the borderline of survival. That's changed dramatically. Survival is certain for almost everyone (in the West). So one of the reasons people are drawn to religion has eroded.”
