What does it mean, anyway, to be an animal in human clothing? We carry around these big brains of ours like the crown jewels, but mostly I find that millions of years of evolution have prepared me for one thing only: to follow internal rhythms. To walk upright, to protect my loved ones, to cooperate with my family group- however broadly I care to define it- to do whatever will help us thrive.

At the time my life just seemed too complete and maybe we have to break everything to make something better of ourselves.
— The Narrator, Fight Club (via theuntitledpiece)
We must know the pain of loss; because if we never knew it, we would have no compassion for others, and we would become monsters of self-regard, creatures of unalloyed self-interest. The terrible pain of loss teaches humility to our prideful kind, has the power to soften uncaring hearts, to make a better person of a good one.
— Dean Koontz, The Darkest Evening Of The Year (via itwasallplay)
