“Language is originally and essentially nothing but a system of signs or symbols, which denote real occurrences, or their echo in the human soul.”
Psychology of the Unconscious • Carl Gustav Jung“ If ... Australia and Eurasia could have been interchanged ... Eurasians would be ... reduced to ... fragments. ”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“When the enemy is relaxed, make them toil. When full, starve them. When settled, make them move.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu“And how does the God's existence emerge from the proof? Does it follow straightway, without any breach of continuity? Or have we not here an analogy to the behavior of the little Cartesian dolls? As soon as I let go of the doll it stands on its head. As soon as I let it go – I must therefore let it go. So also with the proof. As long as I keep my hold on the proof, i.e., continue to demonstrate, the existence does not come out, if for no other reason than that I am engaged in proving it; but when I let the proof go, the existence is there. But this act of letting go is surely also something; it is indeed a contribution of mine. Must not this also be taken into the account, this little moment, brief as it may be – it need not be long, for it is a leap. However brief this moment, if only an instantaneous now, this "now" must be included in the reckoning.”
Philosophical Fragments • Soren Kierkegaard“Never joke at funerals, or during business transactions.”
Israel Potter • Herman Melville
