“Officials are highly educated but one-sided; in his own department an official can grasp whole trains of thought from a single word, but let him have something from another department explained to him... he won't understand a word of it.”

The Castle • Franz Kafka

“The most radical division that it is possible to make of humanity is that which splits it into two classes of creatures: Those who make great demands on themselves, piling up difficulties and duties; and those who demand nothing special of themselves, but for whom to live is to be every moment what they already are, without imposing on themselves any effort towards perfection, mere buoys that float on the waves.”

the Revolt of the Masses • Jose Ortega y Gasset

“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

“All the world knows that France sneezes when England takes a pinch of snuff.”

Diary of a Madman • Nikolai Gogol

“Whatever this is that I am, it is flesh and a little spirit and an intelligence. ”

Book II • Marcus Aurelius
