Friedrich Nietzsche
“One repays a teacher badly if one always remains nothing but a pupil.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

Umberto Eco
“I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.”
Umberto Eco, Foucault’s Pendulum
