“That books do not take the place of experience, and that learning is no substitute for genius, are two kindred phenomena; their common ground is that the abstract can never take the place of the perceptive.”

The World As Will and Representation • Arthur Schopenhauer

“The Times is speechless, and takes three columns to express its speechlessness.”

Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill

“"For some reason, the tall, empty room where he was forced to remain made him feel uneasy as he lay there flat on the floor, even though he had been living in it for five years."”

Metamorphosis and Other Stories • Franz Kafka

“In historical events great men—so-called—are but labels serving to give a name to the event, and like labels they have the least possible connection with the event itself. Every action of theirs, that seems to them an act of their own free will, is in an historical sense not free at all, but in bondage to the whole course of previous history, and predestined from all eternity.”

War and Peace • Leo Tolstoy

“Primitive superstition lies just below the surface of even the most tough-minded individuals, and it is precisely those who most fight against it who are the first to succumb to its suggestive effects.”

Synchronicity: An Acausal Connecting Principle • Carl Gustav Jung
