I found a stack of these napkins in the breakroom at work and couldn't resist scanning one. Either the manufacturer is so existential they don't believe in numerical time, or they are using the number 5 ironically, or someone in the proofreading department needs a refresher on the proper use of quotes.
Quotes are not attention-getting devices, people!

Existentialism
Existentialism is a tradition of philosophical inquiry associated mainly with certain 19th and 20th-century European philosophers who, despite profound doctrinal differences, shared the belief that philosophical thinking begins with the human subject—not merely the thinking subject, but the acting, feeling, living human individual. While the predominant value of existentialist thought is commonly acknowledged to be freedom, its primary virtue is authenticity. In the view of the existentialist, the individual's starting point is characterized by what has been called "the existential attitude", or a sense of disorientation, confusion, or dread in the face of an apparently meaningless or absurd world. Many existentialists have also regarded traditional systematic or academic philosophies, in both style and content, as too abstract and remote from concrete human experience.

Hey what would it mean to you?
To know that it'll
Come back around again
Hey whatever it means to you
Know that everything
Moves in circles

This was a candid I shot at the dog park of Darius. I named this existential contemplation because of the seriousness of his face and his penchant for existential conversations. I was using a fast shutter speed because we were shooting the morning and created a shallow depth of field.
I think I picked this up at the Art Institute of Chicago. In my elementary school days I went through a big owl phase. Some of my watercolors were framed by my dad for his office (and now hang in some of the bedrooms since he retired).
Simple lines, vivid color and bold negative space - that's what my Cocteau's asthetic has in common with mine.
The Universe doesn’t give a damn about this man and he knows it. “Man is but a reed,” said Blaise Pascal, “but he is a thinking reed.” Sounds noble doesn’t it? But there’s a catch. Remember what Craig the puppeteer in “Being John Malkovich said to the chimp, “...consciousness is a terrible curse. I think. I feel. I suffer.” Aye, there’s the rub. It hurts to know that the universe doesn’t give a damn about you. But grow up man and accept it. And quit your existential whining!
For as long as I've been shopping at this fine and comfy little yarn barn, this soap dispenser has been thus labeled. It was Bunni who dubbed it the Existential Soap Dispenser, and unless it ever gets fixed, that's what it forever shall be. Hell, even if they fix it, I'll probably still think of it by that name.
Legendary band from San Francisco's punk heyday.
Self-taught guitarists/vocalists Johnny Strike and Frankie Fix formed the nucleus of Crime, and their stark vision dominated the band through its lifespan. In the summer of 1976, with bassist Ron Ripper and drummer Ricky Tractor on board and a few hasty rehearsals under their belts, Crime recorded and self-released their debut single, “Hot Wire My Heart” b/w “Baby You’re So Repulsive.” More: crimesf.com/murder-by-guitar
Just look at the sheer terror in those eyes. There’s only one thing that can bring on such existential dread in the modern human - a dwindling phone signal in a remote area in an emergency. Although quite what constitutes an emergency can vary considerably.
In this case Karen has been separated from the rest of her hen party. She’s had a couple of drinks and got a little lost on the way back from the loo. Now she’s standing on the seafront. It’s 3am. She’s got one bar of signal and 4% battery. She’s surrounded by seagulls. Karen has a severe case of ornithophobia. The fear is real. Things are about to get interesting…
‘The eyes have it’ has been produced using the magic of spray paint, stencils, pencils and imagination on classy Somerset paper that used to be A2 but has been carefully cut down to fit. Drop us a line if you need it for your wall or she’ll be making her way to our website in due course.

Sunset is archetypal, which makes it no less existential and real on a daily basis. Every day is an elegy. That is what makes the day so valuable and meaningful; it goes away, comes back, goes away, and so forth. It all sounds so eternal until you come down to your own life, your own day, your own sunset. Sunset, as sunsets go, may be immortal–more or less–but our experience with the sunset is not immortal. It is ‘measured out.’

Truth is not revealed at once—
it unfolds through time,
layer by layer,
leaving traces of itself
in moments we learn to endure

Even if he'd never been in combat, even if he'd never been a soldier, this was something he was familiar with: ceremony and repetition. He'd always felt that war dresses up in rule and rigidity, but in the end the ceremony bears no relationship to that which it adorns. Such fancy dress falls away.

Sailor's Existential Nemesis. The Mockingbird. It built a nest in my rain gutter, and every time I take Sailor outside, we get dive bombed.
Le Café Les Deux Magots a toujours joué un rôle important dans la vie culturelle de Paris. Créé en 1933, Le Prix des Deux Magots marque sa vocation littéraire. Fréquenté par de nombreux artistes illustres parmi lesquels Elsa Triolet, André Gide, Jean Giraudoux, Picasso, Fernand Léger, Prévert, Hemingway, Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, pour ne citer qu'eux, il accueillit les surréalistes sous l'égide d'André Breton, bien avant les existentialistes qui firent les belles nuits des caves du quartier.

C/O Berlin is opening SHOOT! . Existential Photography tonight at 7 p.m. at the Postfuhramt, Oranienburgerstrasse 35/36.
You are all cordially invited to join us and find out about the peculiar fascination of fairground shooting galleries: making a target of one’s own ego, or—for the price of a picture—succumbing to the temptation of staging a duel with yourself as the opponent.
