Deep Survival, Laurence Gonzalez
Who lives, who dies, and why.
Selected quotes
"'A sense of humor is not a luxury!' Leach writes, 'It is a vital organ for survival"
"Heaven and Earth are not humane.
They view the myriad creatures as straw dogs." ~ Tao Te Ching
"And as Christopher Burney, who was a prisoner of war at Buchenwald said, 'Death is a word which presents no real target to the mind's eye.' The best way to become a believer, short of dying, is to sit very quietly and contemplate those things."
"In daily life, people operate on the necessary illution that they know where they are. Most of the time, they don't. The only time most people are not lost to some degree is when they are at home."
"'Luck favors the prepared mind,' Louis Pasteur
