“ “The world is, of course, nothing but our conception of it.””
The Cherry Orchard • Anton Chekhov““Look again, and see what will naturally follow if the prisoners are released and disabused of their error. At first, when any of them is liberated and compelled suddenly to stand up and turn his neck round and walk and look towards the light, he will suffer sharp pains; the glare will distress him, and he will be unable to see the realities of which in his former state he had seen the shadows; and then conceive some one saying to him, that what he saw before was an illusion, but that now, when he is approaching nearer to being and his eye is turned towards more real existence, he has a clearer vision,—what will be his reply?””
Republic • Plato“The whole modern world has been shaped by lopsided outcomes.”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“A brush with death always helps us to live our lives better.”
The Zahir • Paulo Coelho“There is no feeling so simple that it is not immediately complicated and distorted by introspection.”
