Albert Hofmann
“It's very, very dangerous to lose contact with living nature.”
Albert Hofmann

Milan Kundera
“Living, there is no happiness in that. Living: carrying one’s painful self through the world.
But being, being is happiness. Being: Becoming a fountain, a fountain on which the universe falls like warm rain.”
Milan Kundera, Immortality
