“There is a wisdom of the Head, and ... there is a wisdom of the Heart.”
Hard Times • Charles Dickens““Poverty, sickness, wars, famines old age and death itself were not the inevitable fate of humankind. They were simply the fruits of our ignorance.””
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind • Yuval Noah Harari“Deception, flattering, lying, deluding, talking behind the back, putting up a false front, living in borrowed splendor, wearing a mask, hiding behind convention, playing a role for others and for oneself -- in short, a continuous fluttering around the solitary flame of vanity -- is so much the rule and the law among men that there is almost nothing which is less comprehensible than how an honest and pure drive for truth could have arisen among them.”
On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“Pleasure, like a kind of bait, is thrown before everything which is really bad, and easily allures greedy souls to the hook of perdition.”
Fragment • Epictetus“All I really wanted was to try and live the life that was spontaneously welling up within me. Why was that so very difficult?”
Demian • Hermann Hesse
