"At what point in our lives does cynicism take over from instinct? When we stop feeling the softness of rain on our face and start worrying about being wet?…When do we make that switch from being part of the natural world to being an observer with an assumed right to control it?"

"At what point in our lives does cynicism take over from instinct? When we stop feeling the softness of rain on our face and start worrying about being wet?…When do we make that switch from being part of the natural world to being an observer with an assumed right to control it?"

-Raynor Winn, The Wild Silence

"Wat is toch dat moment in ons leven dat cynisme de overhand krijgt over intuïtie? Wanneer maakt het voelen van de zachtheid van regendruppels in ons gezicht plaats voor de bezorgdheid dat we nat worden? Wanneer stopt de verwondering over het zien van een das die in de schemering in het gras wroet, over het horen van geluiden die meegevoerd worden door de wind of van onze eigen echo die daarin weerklinkt?"
