“Much learning does not teach understanding.”
Fragments • Heraclitus“As it is so strangely ordained in this world, what is amusing will turn into being gloomy, if you stand too long before it, and then God knows what ideas may not stray into the mind... Why is it that even in moments of unthinking, careless gaiety a different and strange mood comes upon one?”
Dead Souls • Nikolai Gogol“Deception, flattering, lying, deluding, talking behind the back, putting up a false front, living in borrowed splendor, wearing a mask, hiding behind convention, playing a role for others and for oneself -- in short, a continuous fluttering around the solitary flame of vanity -- is so much the rule and the law among men that there is almost nothing which is less comprehensible than how an honest and pure drive for truth could have arisen among them.”
On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“ "The real root of suffering is this never-ending and pointless pursuit of ephemeral feelings, which causes us to be in a constant state of tension, restlessness and dissatisfaction."”
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind • Yuval Noah Harari“Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.”
Lady Windermere's Fan • Oscar Wilde
