There is nothing that man fears more than the touch of the unknown. He wants to see what is reaching towards him, and to be able to recognize or at least classify it. Man always tends to avoid physical contact with anything strange.
Every decision is liberating, even if it leads to disaster.
In five minutes the earth would be a desert, and you cling to books.
You draw closer to truth by shutting yourself off from mankind.
In eternity everything is just beginning.
Words are not too old, only people are too old if they use the same words too frequently.
