"Truths may clash without contradicting each other...." - Quote by Antoine De Saint Exupery

“Horror causes men to clench their fists, and in horror men join together.”

“The machine does not isolate man from the great problems of nature but plunges him more deeply into them.”

“The purpose of art is to represent the meaning of things. This represents the true reality, not external aspects.”

“Nature has her own best mode of doing each thing, and she has somewhere told it plainly, if we will keep our eyes and ears open. If not, she will not be slow in undeceiving us, when we prefer our own way to hers.”

“Truth and reason are eternal. They have prevailed. And they will eternally prevail; however, in times and places they may be overborne for a while by violence, military, civil, or ecclesiastical.”

“He who climbeth on the highest mountains, laugheth at all tragic plays and tragic realities.”

“If ever they remembered their life in this world it was as one remembers a dream.”

“The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious to the rose.”
