““But I come from no country, from no city, no tribe. I am the son of the road, my country is the caravan, my life the most unexpected of voyages.””
Leo Africanus • Amin Maalouf“The distinguishing property of man is to search for and to follow after truth. Therefore, when relaxed from our necessary cares and concerns, we then covet to see, to hear, and to learn somewhat; and we esteem knowledge of things either obscure or wonderful to be the indispensable means of living happily. ”
On Duties • Marcus Tullius Cicero“The perfect normal person is rare in our civilization.”
The Adolescent Diaries of Karen Horney • Karen Horney“ "Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated."”
The Analects of Confucius • Confucius“Against war one might say that it makes the victor stupid and the vanquished malicious. In its favor, that in producing these two effects it barbarizes, and so makes the combatants more natural. For culture it is a sleep or a wintertime, and man emerges from it stronger for good and for evil.”
Human, All Too Human • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
