Quote of the month - May 2013

Everyone should read Simone de Beauvoir's All Men are Mortal.  Why?  To understand the human condition of insignificance and significance, mortal to immortal, life and death.


“Insects were scurrying about in the shade cast by the grass, and the lawn was a huge monotonous forest of thousands of little green blades, all equal, all alike, hiding the world from each other. Anguished, she thought, "I don't want to be just another blade of grass.”
 
― Simone de Beauvoir, All Men are Mortal
