Drew Gilpin Faust Zitate

Of all living things, only humans consciously anticipate death; the consequent need to choose how to behave in its face - to worry about how to die - distinguishes us from other animals. The need to manage death is the particular lot of humanity.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Von allen Lebewesen nehmen nur Menschen bewusst den Tod vorweg; Das daraus resultierende Bedürfnis, sich zu entscheiden, wie man sich in seinem Gesicht verhalten soll - sich Sorgen zu machen, wie man stirbt - unterscheidet uns von anderen Tieren. Die Notwendigkeit, den Tod zu bewältigen, ist das besondere Los der Menschheit.

It's been pretty effortless with Sensa because I am not thinking about how long do I need to do this. Usually, when you stop a diet program, you lose control again. But I don't need to stop what I'm doing. I'm eating everything that I like. Sensa just helps me keep it all in check.

I used to worry a lot. I still worry a lot, but not about the things that I used to worry about because my younger self, I didn't regret anything that I ever did... I was happy, and I was free, and I was living it up.

There's something really interesting about how human beings just want to see animals tear each other apart, maybe because we can't do it.

I think that's what distinguishes Schmidt, really. In the movies now, so much of what is appealing to an audience is the dramatic or has to do with science fiction, and Schmidt is simply human. There's no melodrama; there's no device, It's just about a human being.
