“Keeping up appearances, living in borrowed finery, wearing masks, the drapery of convention, play-acting for the benefit of others and oneself ... the constant fluttering of human beings around the one flame of vanity is so much the rule and the law that there is virtually nothing which defies understanding so much as the fact that an honest and pure drive towards truth should ever have emerged in them. They are deeply immersed in illusions and dream-images; their eyes merely glide across the surface of things and see 'forms'; nowhere does their perception lead to truth.”
The Gay Science • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“The elastic heart of youth cannot be compressed into one constrained shape long at a time.”
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer • Mark Twain““The first opinion which one forms of a prince, and of his understanding, is by observing the men he has around him.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.”
Atomic Habits • James Clear“Those that will combat use and custom by the strict rules of grammar do but jest. ”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne
