MY LAST NOTEBOOK

THESE ARE THE NOTES THAT I HAVE TAKEN FROM BOOKS THAT I HAVE READ SINCE ABOUT 1979. IT IS CALLED THE LAST NOTEBOOK BECAUSE IT IS. MY OTHER NOTEBOOKS WERE DESTROYED FROM WATER DAMAGE.

Entry 185

In the struggle for survival, the fittest win out at the expense of their rivals because they succeed in adapting themselves best to their environment.
Charles Darwin

Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival.
Winston Churchill

Nature is indifferent to the survival of the human species, including Americans.
Adlai E. Stevenson

There is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is love, the only survival, the only meaning.
Thornton Wilder

To cherish what remains of the Earth and to foster its renewal is our only legitimate hope of survival.
Wendell Berry

Aggressiveness is the principal guarantor of survival.
Robert Ardrey

All great art is by its very essence in conflict with the society with which it exists. It expresses the truth about the existence regardless of whether this truth serves or hinders the survival purpose of a given society. All great art is revolutionary because it touches upon the reality of man and questions the reality of the various transitory forms of human society.
Erich Fromm
