Quote by E.E. Cummings

For whatever we lose (a you or a me)It's always ourselves we find in the sea.

For whatever we lose (a you or a me)It's always ourselves we

Summary

This quote reflects the idea that when we experience loss or separation from someone or something, we ultimately discover more about ourselves in the process. The comparison to the vastness of the sea suggests that through these challenging moments, we are forced to confront our own strengths, weaknesses, and emotions. This self-discovery allows us to grow, adapt, and become more aware of our own identity and individuality. In moments of loss, we have the opportunity to find ourselves and rediscover our inner strength.

Interpretation is the revenge of the intellect upon art. Even more. It is the revenge of the intellect upon the world. To interpret is to impoverish, to deplete the world -- in order to set up a shadow world of meanings.

Human beings are the only ones in nature who are aware that

Human beings are the only ones in nature who are aware that they will die. For that reason and only for that reason, I have a profound respect for the human race, and I believe that its future is going to be much better than its present. Even knowing that their days are numbered and that everything will end when they least expect it, people make of their lives a battle that is worthy of a being with eternal life. What people regard as vanity-leaving great works, having children, acting in such a way as to prevent one's name from being forgotten- I regard as the highest expression of human dignity.
