“A few hours' mountain climbing make of a rogue and a saint two fairly equal creatures.”
Human, All Too Human • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“I think that the philosopher must, for his own purposes, carry methodological strictness to an extreme when he is investigating and pursuing his truths, but when he is ready to enunciate them and give them out, he ought to avoid the cynical skill with which some scientists, like a Hercules at the fair, amuse themselves by displaying to the public the biceps of their technique.”
What is Philosophy? • Jose Ortega y Gasset“When a man understands the art of seeing, he can trace the spirit of an age and the features of a king even in the knocker on a door.”
The Hunchback of Notre Dame • VICTOR HUGO“I want someone to sit beside after the day's pursuit and all its anguish, after its listening, and its waitings, and its suspicions. After quarrelling and reconciliation I need privacy -- to be alone with you, to set this hubbub in order. For I am as neat as a cat in my habits.”
The Waves • Virginia Woolf“There are no grades of vanity, there are only grades of ability in concealing it.”
Mark Twain's Notebook • Mark Twain
