Jay Griffiths Zitate

Cultures have long heard wisdom in non-human voices: Apollo, god of music, medicine and knowledge, came to Delphi in the form of a dolphin. But dolphins, which fill the oceans with blipping and chirping, and whales, which mew and caw in ultramarine jazz - a true rhapsody in blue - are hunted to the edge of silence.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Kulturen haben längst Weisheit in nicht-menschlichen Stimmen gehört: Apollo, der Gott der Musik, der Medizin und des Wissens, kam als Delphin nach Delphi. Aber Delphine, die die Ozeane mit blubbern und zwitschern füllen, und Wale, die im ultramarinen Jazz - einer wahren Rhapsodie in Blau - miauen und krächzen, werden bis an den Rand der Stille gejagt.

You don't have to dumb down - you just have to find a clever, good, secure man. I've found a couple - I've been lucky - but it's probably hard for everybody to find that true love of a good man.

Between falsehood and useless truth there is little difference. As gold which he cannot spend will make no man rich, so knowledge which cannot apply will make no man wise.

I didn't realise how much I ate Mexican food, like tacos and burritos three times a week, until I came to Europe and couldn't find any.

Science, we are repeatedly told, is the most reliable form of knowledge about the world because it is based on testable hypotheses. Religion, by contrast, is based on faith. The term 'doubting Thomas' well illustrates the difference.

Paul Davies

I would love to be able to see as much of the world as possible, and volunteering, doing things in another community, living with a host family, are really effective ways to learn about cultures different from your own. And also to not feel lazy.
