Die Hälfte der Welt lacht über die andere, und Narren sind sie alle. / One half of the world laughs at the other, and fools are they all. (B.G. y Morales) [1084]
Ungehorsam ist für jeden, der die Geschichte kennt, die recht eigentliche Tugend des Menschen. (Oscar Wilde) [3586]
The very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world. Lies will pass into history. (George Orwell) [5376]
That which you are was never born and will never die. (Joseph Campbell) [8198]
Men are born ignorant, not stupid. They are made stupid by education. (Bertrand Russell) [8464]
A man of learning is a man who has learned a great deal; a man of genius, one from whom we learn something which the genius has learned from nobody. Great minds, of which there is scarcely one in a hundred millions, are thus the lighthouses of humanity; and without them mankind would lose itself in the boundless sea of monstrous error and bewilderment. And so the simple man of learning, in the strict sense of the word — the ordinary professor, for instance — looks upon the genius much as we look upon a hare, which is good to eat after it has been killed and dressed up. So long as it is alive, it is only good to shoot at. (Arthur Schopenhauer)(On Genius) [8540]
Man is condemned to freedom. ( Jean-Paul Sartre) [9957]
In the doing does the understanding come. (Edgar Cayce) [10286]
