“My story isn’t pleasant, it’s not sweet and harmonious like the invented stories; it tastes of folly and bewilderment, of madness and dream, like the life of all people who no longer want to lie to themselves.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse““The power and capacity of learning exists in the soul already; and that just as the eye was unable to turn from darkness to light without the whole body, so too the instrument of knowledge can only by the movement of the whole soul be turned from the world of becoming into that of being, and learn by degrees to endure the sight of being, and of the brightest and best of being, or in other words, of the good.””
Republic • Plato““And justice lies in appearance, at least in this world, at least in the eyes of the multitude.””
Leo Africanus • Amin Maalouf“Reputation is an idle and most false imposition; oft got without merit and lost without deserving.”
Othello • William Shakespeare“Madness is something rare in individuals -- but in groups, parties, peoples, and ages, it is the rule.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
