Aristotle

"But the idea horse was simply a concept that we humans had formed after seeing a certain number of horses" (Gaarder, 107)
Its so weird for me to grasp the idea that we humans came up with something so strange as language and then how everything evovled into what we came to believe since we had seen things so many times. Horses are just humans reaction to something that we have grown so accoustmed too. Its really interesting.

"A chicken's egg has the potentiality to become a chicken. This does not mean all chicken's eggs become a chicken" (Gaarder 109)
this example of how everything changes so much since not all chickens become chicken its so weird since us as humans have become the most supreme creatures in the world and have the power to un-naturally select important things as deciding whether or not we should let a chicken be a chicken or create that egg into huevos rancheros. i had no idea how powerfull we trully are.
