“Let an understanding man imagine human nature originally produced without the sense of sight, and consider what ignorance and trouble such a defect would bring upon him, what a darkness and blindness in the soul; he will then see by that of how great importance to the knowledge of truth would be the privation of such another sense, or of two or three, should we be so deprived.”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne“He began to seach among the infinite series of impressions which time had laid down, leaf upon leaf, fold upon fold softly, incessantly upon his brain; among scents, sounds; voices, harsh, hollow, sweet; and lights passing, and brooms tapping; and the wash and hush of the sea.”
To the Lighthouse • Virginia Woolf“Pleasure, like a kind of bait, is thrown before everything which is really bad, and easily allures greedy souls to the hook of perdition.”
Fragment • Epictetus“God is that infinite All of which man knows himself to be a finite part.”
Diary • Leo Tolstoy“When we hate a person, what we hate in his image is something inside ourselves. Whatever isn’t inside us can’t excite us.””
Demian • Hermann Hesse
