“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“To learn to see -- to accustom the eye to calmness, to patience, and to allow things to come up to it; to defer judgment, and to acquire the habit of approaching and grasping an individual case from all sides. This is the first preparatory schooling of intellectuality. One must not respond immediately to a stimulus; one must acquire a command of the obstructing and isolating instincts.”
Twilight of the Idols • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche““The vulgar are always taken by what a thing seems to be.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“Naturally, what makes patriotic and religious fanatics such dangerous opponents is not the deaths of the fanatics themselves, but their willingness to accept the deaths of a fraction of their number in order to annihilate or crush their infidel enemy.”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)““Courage isn’t absence of fear, it is the awareness that something else is important””
The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People • Stephen R. Covey
