“The clouds above us join and separate,
The breeze in the courtyard leaves and returns. Life is like that, so why not relax? Who can stop us from celebrating?” ― Lu Yu ![[Image: 126902937_1157876067982606_1334515935718...e=5FDD7DA2]](https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/126902937_1157876067982606_1334515935718334535_n.jpg?_nc_cat=111&ccb=2&_nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=NXqYh6Yy3q0AX-HZyyY&_nc_ht=scontent-sea1-1.xx&oh=6f0d9a248e1ce04d5f6708a578b728bc&oe=5FDD7DA2)

"To say that the world is out there, that it is not our creation, is to say, with common sense, that most things in space and time are the effects of causes which do not include human mental states. To say that truth is not out there is simply to say that where there are no sentences there is no truth, that sentences are elements of human languages, and that human languages are human creations. Truth cannot be out there – cannot exist independently of the human mind – because sentences cannot so exist, or be out there. The world is out there, but descriptions of the world are not. Only descriptions of the world can be true or false. The world on its own – unaided by the describing activities of human beings – cannot."---Richard Rorty

“We do not belong to this material world that science constructs for us. We are not in it; we are outside. We are only spectators. The reason why we believe that we are in it, that we belong to the picture, is that our bodies are in the picture. Our bodies belong to it. Not only my own body, but those of my friends, also of my dog and cat and horse, and of all the other people and animals. And this is my only means of communicating with them.”
― Erwin Schrödinger, 'Nature and the Greeks' and 'Science and Humanism

“All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous unpremeditated act without the benefit of experience.”
