“ “Anyone who says that the artist's field is all answers and no questions has neither.””
Uncle Vanya • Anton Chekhov“What are men? Mortal gods. What are gods? Immortal men.”
Fragments • Heraclitus“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.”

Why Is Sex Fun?: The Evolution of Human Sexuality • Jared Diamond“Men are disturbed, not by things, but by the principles and notions which they form concerning things.”
The Enchiridion • Epictetus
