“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“[One of the company... said: ...is not this the direct contrary of what we admitted before—that out of the greater came the less and out of the less the greater, and that opposites are simply generated from opposites; whereas now this seems to be utterly denied.] ...then we were speaking of opposites in the concrete, and now of the essential opposite which, as is affirmed, neither in us nor in nature can ever be at variance with itself... these essetial opposites will never, as we maintain, admit of generation into or out of one another.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“Because learning does not consist only of knowing what we must or we can do, but also of knowing what we could do and perhaps should not do.”
The Name of The Rose • Umberto Eco“The Law of Raspberry Jam: the wider any culture is spread, the thinner it gets.”
The Culture Consumers • Alvin Toffler““Several of them would have protested if they could have found the right arguments.””
Animal Farm • George Orwell
