"I've reached the point on Absolute relation. I feel extremely smart and extremely stupid at the same time. Very much a hegelian problem." Jan 26, 2026 06:42AM

John  Williams
“It's for us that the University exists, for the dispossessed of the world; not for the students, not for the selfless pursuit of knowledge, not for any of the reasons that you hear. We give out the reasons, and we let a few of the ordinary ones in, those that would do in the world; but that's just protective coloration. Like the church in the Middle Ages, which didn't give a damn about the laity or even about God, we have our pretenses in order to survive. And we shall survive—because we have to.”
John Williams, Stoner

Confucius
“You are not yet able to serve men, how can you serve spirits?”
Confucius, The Analects

Peter Wessel Zapffe
“Know yourselves- be infertile and let the earth be silent after ye.”
Peter Wessel Zapffe, Essays

James Joyce
“Shite and onions!”
James Joyce, Ulysses

John Banville
“The dead are my dark matter, filling up impalpably the empty spaces of the world.”
John Banville, Ancient Light
