Human, All Too Human • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“I have always thought that clarity is a form of courtesy that the philosopher owes; moreover, this discipline of ours considers it more truly a matter of honor today than ever before to be open to all minds … This is different from the individual sciences which increasingly [interpose] between the treasure of their discoveries and the curiosity of the profane the tremendous dragon of their closed terminology.”
What is Philosophy? • Jose Ortega y Gasset“ “If you kept the small rules you could break the big ones”
1984 • George Orwell“ “We study history not to know the future but to widen our horizons, to understand that our present situation is neither natural nor inevitable, and that we consequently have many more possibilities before us than we imagine.””

Man and Superman • George Bernard Shaw
