"We no longer love our knowledge enough..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“Follow in the footsteps of your fathers' virtue! How could you hope to climb high unless your fathers' will climbs with you?”

“Rational thought is interpretation according to a scheme which we cannot escape.”

“The most vulnerable and yet most unconquerable of things is human vanity; nay, through being wounded its strength increases and can grow to giant proportions.”

“If anyone spends almost the whole day in reading...he gradually loses the capacity for thinking...This is the case with many learned persons; they have read themselves stupid”

“Reason in a creature is a faculty of widening the rules and purposes of the use of all its powers far beyond natural instinct; it acknowledges no limits to its projects. Reason itself does not work instinctively, but requires trial, practice, and instruction in order gradually to progress from one level of insight to another.”

“Once you have had a glimpse of awareness or Presence, you know it firsthand. It is no longer just a concept in your mind.”

“It is only when mind and character slumber that the dress can be seen. If the intellect were always awake, and every noble sentiment, the man might go in huckaback or mats, and his dress would be admired and imitated.”

“Bodies devoid of mind are as statues in the market place.”

“The forms have value only so far as they are expressions of the life within. If they have ceased to express life, crush them out without mercy.”
