Arthur Schopenhauer
“No one reveals himself as he is; we all wear a mask and play a role.

- On Psychology
Arthur Schopenhauer, The Horrors and Absurdities of Religion

Friedrich Nietzsche
“My formula for human greatness is amor fati: that one wants nothing to be different, not in the future, not in the past, not for all eternity. Not only to endure what is necessary, still less to conceal it — all idealism is falseness in the face of necessity — , but to love it...”
Friedrich Nietzsche

Oscar Wilde
“Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask and he'll tell you the truth”
Oscar Wilde

Malcolm Gladwell
“Giants are not what we think they are. The same qualities that appear to give them strength are often the sources of great weakness.”
Malcolm Gladwell, David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants

Ovid
“His eyes that swam in death's dark night looked round
For Athis, and he lay down by his side,
Solaced among the shades to share his death.”
Ovid, Metamorphoses
