“He that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom.”
The Fellowship of the Ring • J.R.R Tolkien“One can run away from anything but oneself.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig“The rational and the irrational appear such in a different way to different persons, just as the good and the bad, the profitable and the unprofitable.”
Discourses • Epictetus“The characteristic of the hour is that the commonplace mind, knowing itself to be commonplace, has the assurance to proclaim the rights of the commonplace and to impose them wherever it will. As they say in the United States: "to be different is to be indecent." The mass crushes beneath it everything that is different, everything that is excellent, individual, qualified and select. Anybody who is not like everybody, who does not think like everybody, runs the risk of being eliminated. And it is clear, of course, that this "everybody" is not "everybody." "Everybody" was normally the complex unity of the mass and the divergent, specialised minorities. Nowadays, "everybody" is the mass alone.”
the Revolt of the Masses • Jose Ortega y Gasset“ “Hierarchies serve an important function. They enable complete strangers to know how to treat one another without wasting the time and energy needed to become personally acquainted.””
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind • Yuval Noah Harari
