Here’s a quote I like:

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyse a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

For context, the main characters in that book are kinda immortal. A great book btw

I have honestly no idea what to think of the quote. I am simply baffled, unable to decide whether it's an utter drivel or amazingly profound.

Thank you for sharing.
