"Tremendous self-examination: becoming conscious of oneself, not as individuals but as mankind. Let us reflect, let us think back; let us follow the highways and byways!" -Friedrich Nietzsche "The great man is necessarily a skeptic (which is not to say that he has to appear to be one), provided that greatness consists in this: to will something great and the means to do it." -Friedrich Nietzsche "One recognizes the supereriority of the Greek and the Renaissance man- but one would like to have them without the causes and conditions that made them possible." -Friedrich Nietzsche "Poetry is a response to the daily necessity of getting the world right." -Wallace Stevens "Poetry is a renovation of experience. Originality is an escape from repition." -Wallace Stevens "We are only undefeated Because we have gone on trying..." -T.S. Eliot "The only wisdom we can hope to acquire Is the wisdom of humility: humility is endless." -T.S. Eliot "Despite vastness of frontiers which are as it were the fringes of a flower full of honey, it is the little things that count! Neglect them and bitterness drowns the imagination." -William Carlos Williams "Rage against the dying of the light." -Dylan Thomas "We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time." -T.S. Eliot "Often when the descent seems well marked there will be a subtle ascent over-ruling it so that in the end when the degradation is fully anticipated the person will be found to have emerged on a hilltop." -William Carlos Williams "The only way to refute priests and religions is this: to show that their errors have ceased to be beneficial- that they rather do harm; in short, that their own "proof of power" no longer holds good." -Friedrich Nietzsche "The Kingdom of Heaven is a condition of the heart (-it is said of children "for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven"): Not something 'above the earth.' The Kingdom of God does not 'come' chronologically-historically, on a certain day in the calender, something that might be here one day but not the day before: it is an 'inward change in the individual,' something that comes at every moment and at every moment has not yet arrived." -Friedrich Nietzsche "-The church is precisely that against which Jesus preached- and against which he taught his disciples to fight-." -Friedrich Nietzsche "Philosophy is an art of living." -Friedrich Nietzsche "It is not the victory of science that distinguishes our nineteenth century, but the victory of scientific method over science." -Friedrich Nietzsche "Profound aversion to reposing once and for all in any one total view of the world. Fascination of the opposing point of view: refusal to be deprived of the stimulus of the enigmatic." -Friedrich Nietzsche "Life does not proceed by the association and addition of elements, but by dissociation and division." -Henri Bergson "The present contains nothing more than the past, and what is found in the effect was already in the cause." -Henri Bergson "To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly." -Henri Bergson "Think like a man of action, act like a man of thought." -Henri Bergson "The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend." -Henri Bergson "To perceive means to immobilize... we seize, in the act of perception, something which outruns perception itself." -Henri Bergson "An absolute can only be given by an intuition, while all the rest has to do with analysis." -Henri Bergson "If we spoke a different language, we would perceive a somewhat different world." -Ludwig Wittgenstein "Logic takes care of itself: all we have to do is look and see how it does it." -Ludwig Wittgenstein "Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent." -Ludwig Wittgenstein "The limits of my language are the limits of my mind. All I know is what I have words for." -Ludwig Wittgenstein "No one can think a thought for me in the way that no one can don my hat for me." -Ludwig Wittgenstein "The riddle does not exist. If a question can be put at all, then it can also be answered." -Ludwig Wittgenstein "We are our choices." -Jean-Paul Sartre "We only become what we are by the radical and deep-seated refusal of that which others have made of us." -Jean-Paul Sartre "Hell is other people." -Jean-Paul Sartre "Man is condemned to be free." -Jean-Paul Sartre "Atheistic existentialism, of which I am a representative, decares with greater consistency that if God does not exist, there is at least one being whose existnce comes before its essence, a being which exists before it can be defined by any conception of it. That being is man..." -Jean Paul Sartre
