33 lines about 11 carbon-based lifeforms

“The unexamined life is not worth living.” 1
Reflect in order to know yourself. Then you may be capable of giving. Carefully control your caring soul. 

“Entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily.” 2
Slide softly on the razor’s edge to discover the grand unifying theory. Once upon the blade beware. It is cleverly sharp. 

“The life of man is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.” 3
Prey upon the doorstep of our family and friends. Read all about it in the savage’s report. Lengthy to digest, but we never do it alone. 

“I think therefore I am.” 4
It is impossible not to doubt what cannot be known. Recognize that one most certainly can. Turned inside out we are all still a version of man. 

“To be is to be perceived.” 5
Only God truly knows all. In our minds all of our ideas are transposed to make our minor realities conscious. Live, love, life.

“We live in the best of all possible worlds.” 6
Created so we have free will, our world revolves. We pine to spin on, and then we spin until spin out.  However, the price of such a gift allows malevolence to be unfurled. 

 “The owl of Minerva spreads its wings only with the falling of the dusk.” 7
Don't wait until it has all passed and your impotent soul has shriveled your sight. See now! Be now!

“Who is also aware of the tremendous risk involved in faith – when he nevertheless makes the leap of faith – this [is] subjectivity … at its height.” 8
From rebellion to religion the leap is grand. And it is filled with treachery and treasure. Don't waste a hind sighted view on motions not made. 

“God is dead.” 9
He's passed his prime, and he's not coming home. Look to the madman to mouth your words and reclaim your youth. He's softly spoken in a quiet loud voice. 

“There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide.” 10
Keep pushing your burdens up the hill no matter how absurd it feels. Hostile and humiliating we take on tasks. Not done until the race is run for one last victory. 

“One cannot step twice in the same river.” 11
Electrons buzz in every object lost. Washed downstream to be forever changed. This provides proof of the reality shift once more.
