“No matter how much you keep encouraging someone who is blindfolded to stare through the cloth, he still won't see a thing.".”
The Castle • Franz Kafka“The object of Parliament is to substitute argument for fisticuffs.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“What doesn’t kill me, makes me stronger!”
Twilight of the Idols • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“The characteristic of the hour is that the commonplace mind, knowing itself to be commonplace, has the assurance to proclaim the rights of the commonplace and to impose them wherever it will. As they say in the United States: "to be different is to be indecent." The mass crushes beneath it everything that is different, everything that is excellent, individual, qualified and select. Anybody who is not like everybody, who does not think like everybody, runs the risk of being eliminated. And it is clear, of course, that this "everybody" is not "everybody." "Everybody" was normally the complex unity of the mass and the divergent, specialised minorities. Nowadays, "everybody" is the mass alone.”
the Revolt of the Masses • Jose Ortega y Gasset“Everywhere and at all times it is in thy power piously to acquiesce in thy present condition, and to behave justly to those who are about thee, and to exert thy skill upon thy present thoughts, that nothing shall steal into them without being well examined.”
Book VII • Marcus Aurelius
