“Every day we slaughter our finest impulses. That is why we get a heartache when we read those lines written by the hand of a master and recognize them as our own, as the tender shoots which we stifled because we lacked the faith to believe in our own powers, our own criterion of truth and beauty. Every man, when he gets quiet, when he becomes desperately honest with himself, is capable of uttering profound truths. We all derive from the same source. There is no mystery about the origin of things. We are all part of creation, all kings, all poets, all musicians; we have only to open up, only to discover what is already there.”
— Henry Miller, Henry Miller on Writing
“Most people do not themselves know how interesting they really are, what interesting things they really say. A true representation of themselves — a sketch and assessment of what they say would evoke the greatest amazement in them about themselves and help them to discover in themselves a completely new world.”
— Novalis, Logological Fragments II
“Part of grief’s tyranny is that it robs you of remembering the things that matter.”
— Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Notes on Grief
“It does not matter whether I want to be changed, because I am changed.”

“All the chance events of our lives are materials from which we can make what we like. Whoever is rich in spirit makes much of his life. Every acquaintance, every incident would be for the thoroughly spiritual person the first element in an endless series — the beginning of an endless novel.”
— Novalis, Miscellaneous Observations
And in the silence I suddenly understood the many ways a person can die but still be alive.
Carmen Rodrigues; 34 Pieces Of You
“Grief is a cruel kind of education. You learn how ungentle mourning can be, how full of anger. You learn how glib condolences can feel. You learn how much grief is about language, the failure of language and the grasping for language.”
— Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Notes on Grief
Eventually something you love is going to be taken away. And then you will fall to the floor crying. And then, however much later, it is finally happening to you: you're falling to the floor crying thinking, "I am falling to the floor crying," but there's an element of the ridiculous to it — you knew it would happen and, even worse, while you're on the floor crying you look at the place where the wall meets the floor and you realize you didn't paint it very well.
Richard Siken
The sacred tree. In each forest there is always a tree that, you could say, occupies all of the space. A tree which shines brighter; one which, when you walk in the forest, you will see its soul.

Inevitably, most anticapitalist or communist discussions online devolve into some argument that, essentially, we need rich entrepreneurs & founders to buy machinery, warehouses, factories, raw materials, etc.
And because of this, then that rich entrepreneur and their shareholders should maximize & reap all profits.
This is shareholder primacy.
It is not legally mandated for companies to operate this way. There are other models, even within capitalism.

Market-based approaches to forest conservation like carbon offsets and deforestation-free certification schemes have largely failed to protect trees or alleviate poverty, according to a major scientific review published on Monday. The global study—the most comprehensive of its kind to date—found that trade and finance-driven initiatives had made "limited" progress halting deforestation and in some cases worsened economic inequality. Drawn from years of academic and field work, the report compiled by the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO), a group of 15,000 scientists in 120 countries, will be presented at a high-level UN forum starting Monday. Its authors urged a "radical rethink" of increasingly popular market-based approaches often promoted as effective at saving forests, curbing global warming and raising living standards in developing nations. "The evidence does not support the claim of win-wins or triple wins for environment, economy and people often made for market mechanisms as a policy response to environmental problems," said contributing author Maria Brockhaus from the University of Helsinki. "Rather our cases show that poverty and forest loss both are persistent across different regions of the world... where market mechanisms have been the main policy option for decades," she told AFP by email.
