Christopher Ryan Quotes

• You can slow time down by traveling. That month from Shringar to the Taj Mahal is like a year in my life currently. Really, time is a measure of change, in a vacuum time doesn't exist because nothing's changing. If you can pack your life full of interesting changes you stretch it out. So if you want to live longer, have a really interesting life.

• Could it be that the atomic isolation of the husband and wife nucleus with an orbiting child or two is in fact a culturally imposed aberration for our species?

• ¿Por qué tantos arriesgarían su reputación, su familia, su carrera -incluso su legado presidencial- por algo que va en contra de la naturaleza humana? Si la monogamia fuera un rasgo antiguo y evolucionado característico de nuestra especie, como insiste la narrativa estándar, estas transgresiones omnipresentes serían infrecuentes y no sería necesaria una imposición tan horrible. Ninguna criatura necesita ser amenazada de muerte para actuar de acuerdo con su propia naturaleza.

• Our sense of the full range of human nature, like our diet, has been steadily reduced. No matter how nourishing it might be, anything wild gets pulled - though as we'll see, some of the weeds growing in us have roots reaching deep into our shared past. Pull them if you want, but they'll just keep coming back again and again.
