The men sit around getting fat and arguing with each other about something they call “philosophy” - most of which is pure nonsense.

"The map of what we call reality is an ever-shifting mosaic of ideas."

Marcelo Gleiser

Truth has nothing to do with words. Truth can be likened to the bright moon in the sky. Words, in this case, can be likened to a finger. The finger can point to the moon’s location. However, the finger is not the moon. To look at the moon, it is necessary to gaze beyond the finger.

Aleksandar Hemon

"It is not possible to know ‘Who am I?’ by ‘doing’. ‘Doing’ (anything), requires egoism, and where there is egoism, ‘Who am I’ cannot be known."

Antonio Gramsci

Inspiration

I have an unshakable belief that mankind’s higher nature is on the whole still dormant. The greatest souls reveal excellencies of mind and heart which their lesser fellows possess-hidden, it is true, but there all the same.

Helen Keller
