The Earth does not belong to us: we belong to the Earth.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that humans are not the owners or rulers of the Earth, but rather an integral part of it. It suggests that our existence is interconnected with the Earth and all its elements. We should recognize our responsibility to care for and preserve the environment, rather than exploiting it for our own selfish desires. It calls for a shift in mindset from dominion to stewardship, reminding us that we have a duty to protect and respect the planet that provides us with life.

The slow arrow of beauty. The most noble kind of beauty is that which does not carry us away suddenly, whose attacks are not violent or intoxicating (this kind easily awakens disgust), but rather the kind of beauty which infiltrates slowly, which we carry along with us almost unnoticed, and meet up with again in dreams; finally, after it has for a long time lain modestly in our heart, it takes complete possession of us, filling our eyes with tears, our hearts with longing. What do we long for when we see beauty? To be beautiful. We think much happiness must be connected with it. But that is an error.

Friedrich Nietzsche
