“The stupider one is, the closer one is to reality. The stupider one is, the clearer one is. Stupidity is brief and artless, while intelligence wriggles and hides itself. Intelligence is a knave, but stupidity is honest and straightforward.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“Recognition of the reality of evil necessarily relativizes the good, and the evil likewise, converting both into halves of a paradoxical whole.”
Memories, Dreams, Reflections • Carl Gustav Jung“Where there have been powerful governments, societies, religions, public opinions, in short wherever there has been tyranny, there the solitary philosopher has been hated; for philosophy offers an asylum to a man into which no tyranny can force it way, the inward cave, the labyrinth of the heart.”
Untimely Meditations • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“Against war one might say that it makes the victor stupid and the vanquished malicious. In its favor, that in producing these two effects it barbarizes, and so makes the combatants more natural. For culture it is a sleep or a wintertime, and man emerges from it stronger for good and for evil.”
Human, All Too Human • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“Happiness is a gift and the trick is not to expect it, but to delight in it when it comes.”
Nicholas Nickleby • Charles Dickens
