You can lease the peace of mind You bought a mask, I put it on. You never thought to ask me If I wear it when you're gone

You can lease the peace of mind You bought a mask, I put it

Summary

This quote highlights the idea that sometimes we put on a mask to hide our true selves from others. In relationships or situations where peace of mind is valued, we may project a false image to give the illusion of everything being alright. The quote suggests that even though someone may be symbolically wearing a mask, it does not guarantee that they continue to wear it when they are not being directly observed. It emphasizes the importance of genuine communication and understanding in relationships, as assumptions about someone's true self can lead to misunderstandings and prevent true peace of mind from being achieved.

If you saw Atlas, the giant who holds the world on his shoul

If you saw Atlas, the giant who holds the world on his shoulders, if you saw that he stood, blood running down his chest, his knees buckling, his arms trembling but still trying to hold the world aloft with the last of his strength, and the greater the effort the heavier the world bore down upon his shoulders -- what would you tell him to do? I don't know. What could he do? What would you tell him? To shrug.

If you read a book that's fiction and you get caught in the characters and the plot, and swept away, really, by the fiction of it - by the non-reality - you sometimes wind up changing your reality as well. Often, when the last page is turned, it will haunt you.

In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
