Humans have evolved to their relatively high state by retaining the immature characteristics of their ancestors. Humans are the most advanced of mammals – although a case could be made for the dolphins – because they seldom grow up. Behavioral traits such as curiosity about the world, flexibility of response, and playfulness are common to practically all young mammals but are usually rapidly lost with the onset of maturity in all but humans. Humanity has advanced, when it has advanced, not because it has been sober, responsible and cautious, but because it has been playful, rebellious, and immature.

We worship perfection because we can’t have it; if we had it, we would reject it. Perfection is inhuman, because humanity is imperfect.

—Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet (via quotethat)

To be great, be whole;
Exclude nothing, exaggerate nothing that is not you.
Be whole in everything. Put all you are
Into the smallest thing you do.
So, in each lake, the moon shines with splendor
Because it blooms up above

—Fernando Pessoa (via quotes-shape-us)

This aqueduct was the first thing that caught my eye as we entered the Alhambra in Granada, Spain.  I appreciated the engineering and architecture that it took to build the aqueduct.  I like the importance of the basic necessities in life and water is definitely high on the list.  Without water the Alhambra would have failed to exist.
