“Again, Nietzsche thumbed through his notes, and then read, “ ‘One must have chaos and frenzy within oneself to give birth to a dancing star.”

“Poetic naturalism is a philosophy of freedom and responsibility. The raw materials of life are given to us by the natural world, and we must work to understand them and accept the consequences. The move from description to prescription, from saying what happens to passing judgment on what should happen, is a creative one, a fundamentally human act. The world is just the world, unfolding according to the patterns of nature, free of any judgmental attributes. The world exists; beauty and goodness are things that we bring to it.”
― Sean Carroll, The Big Picture: On the Origins of Life, Meaning, and the Universe Itself

“As we understand the world better, the idea that it has a transcendent purpose seems increasingly untenable.”
― Sean Carroll, The Big Picture: On the Origins of Life, Meaning, and the Universe Itself
