Rainer Maria Rilke
“So we are grasped by what we cannot grasp.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, Rilke's Book of Hours: Love Poems to God

“Probability is orderly opinion and inference from data is nothing other than the revision of such opinion in the light of relevant new information.”
Eliezer S. Yudkowsky

George R.R. Martin
“Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish: The realm. Do you know what the realm is? It's the thousand blades of Aegon's enemies, a story we agree to tell each other over and over, until we forget that it's a lie.

Lord Varys: But what do we have left, once we abandon the lie? Chaos? A gaping pit waiting to swallow us all.

Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish: Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some, are given a chance to climb. They refuse, they cling to the realm or the gods or love. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.”
George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

Friedrich Nietzsche
“Und gesetzt, euer Imperativ "gemäss der Natur
leben" bedeute im Grunde soviel als "gemäss dem Leben leben" - wie
könntet ihr's denn nicht? Wozu ein Princip aus dem machen, was ihr
selbst seid und sein müsst?”
Nietzsche
