Exit Voice and Loyalty - The Monday Morning Memo

Even more surprising is how long ago this was written:
“Invisible threads are the strongest ties.”
– Friedrich Nietzsche, (1844 – 1900)

“I think we all feel great ambivalence at the sight of our own Horoscope. On the one hand we’re proud to see that the sky is imprinted on our individual life, like a postmark with a date stamped on a letter – this makes it distinct, one of a kind. But at the same time it’s a sort of imprisonment in space, like a tattooed prison number. There’s no escaping it. I cannot be someone other than I am. How awful. We’d prefer to think that we’re free, able to reinvent ourselves whenever we choose. This connection with something as great and monumental as the sky makes us feel uncomfortable.”

- Olga Tokarczuk, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, p. 112, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature
