“Opinion is, as it were, the queen of the world, but force is its tyrant.”
“Let us, then, take our compass; we are something, and we are not everything. The nature of our existence hides from us the knowledge of first beginnings which are born of the nothing; and the littleness of our being conceals from us the sight of the infinite. Our intellect holds the same position in the world of thought as our body occupies in the expanse of nature.”
“We are not satisfied with real life; we want to live some imaginary life in the eyes of other people and to seem different from what we actually are.”
