Plato was a bore.
One hears - one does not seek; one takes - one does not ask who gives.
In every age the wisest have passed the identical judgment on life: it is worthless.
Truth is the kind of error without which a certain species of life could not live. The value for life is ultimately decisive.
Who is better, they who promote truth over happiness, or happiness over truth?
The spirit of the poet craves spectators... even if only buffaloes.
