Amphibians

No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Humans are amphibians—half spirit and half animal. As spirits they belong to the eternal world, but as animals they inhabit time. This means that while their spirits can be directed to an eternal object, their bodies, passions, and imaginations are in continual change, for to be in time, means to change.”

—C. S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

Freedom

Posted by PJ under freedom, mind, quote of the day
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Freedom is a state of mind, I said wondering where I’d heard it before, not a state of being. We are all slaves to gravity and morality much more than we’d like to think. Our bodies cannot know absolute freedom but our minds can, can at least try.”

—Walter Mosley, Killing Johnny Fry
