Pocket paradigm

In the end, it is not the culture from which we came but the one each of us is helping to create that will matter. It is our common fate rather than our disparate pasts that will ultimately describe, redeem, or destroy us. - Sam Smith

From Alfred Lord Tennyson, In Memoraum:
  "I held it truth, with him who sings
   To one clear harp in divers tones,
   That men may rise on stepping-stones
   Of their dead selves to higher things."

and from Ernest Hemingway:
"There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man;
true nobility is being superior to your former self."

Cheers, Tom
