Life on a lifeboat isnโt much of a life. It is like an end game in chess, a game with few pieces. The elements couldnโt be more simple, nor the stakes higher.
Yann MartelIf you don't let technology help you, if you resist good ideas, you condemn yourself to dinosaurhood.
Yann MartelSometimes I got my majors mixed up. A number of my fellow religious-studies students - muddled agnostics who didn't know which way was up, who were in the thrall of reason, that fool's gold for the bright - reminded me of the three-toed sloth; and the three-toed sloth, such a beautiful example of the miracle of life, reminded me of God.
