“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.”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset“I dream of a grave, deep and narrow, where we could clasp each other in our arms as with clamps, and I would hide my face in you and you would hide your face in me, and nobody would ever see us any more”

Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche“Most often people seek in life occasions for persisting in their opinions rather than for educating themselves.”

Like a train into which one jumps without thinking, and without asking oneself where it is going.”
The Counterfeiters • Andre Gide
