“The majority believes that everything hard to comprehend must be very profound. This is incorrect. What is hard to understand is what is immature, unclear and often false. The highest wisdom is simple and passes through the brain directly into the heart.”
Viktor Schauberger
“Sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth because they don’t want their illusions destroyed.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Insanity is a rare thing in individuals, but the rule in groups, parties, peoples and times.”
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
“Truth is not what you want it to be; it is what it is. And you must bend to its power or live a lie.”
Miyamoto Musashi
“Controversy never convinced any man; men can be influenced by making them think for themselves, by seeming to doubt with them, by leading them as if by the hand, without their perceiving it. A good book lent to them, which they read at leisure, produces upon them surer effects, because they do not then blush to be subjugated by the superior reason of an antagonist.”
Voltaire
“He is free to evade reality, he is free to unfocus his mind and stumble blindly down any road he pleases, but not free to avoid the abyss he refuses to see.”
Ayn Rand
“While those who can no longer bear the loss of human values are considered insane, those who have separated from their human roots are certified normal.”
