“The hand of God creates, it does not conceal.”
Umberto Ecoerto

Bertrand Russell
“Two things are to be remembered: that a man whose opinions and theories are worth studying may be presumed to have had some intelligence, but that no man is likely to have arrived at complete and final truth on any subject whatever. When an intelligent man expresses a view which seems to us obviously absurd, we should not attempt to prove that it is somehow true, but we should try to understand how it ever came toseemtrue. Thisexercise of historical and psychological imagination at once enlarges the scope of our thinking, and helps us to realize how foolish many of our own cherished prejudices will seem to an age which has a different temper of mind.”
Bertrand Russell, A History of Western Philosophy

Immanuel Kant
“Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind.”
Immanuel Kant, Critique of Pure Reason

Félix Guattari
“We are not in the world, we become with the world; we become by contemplating it. Everything is vision, becoming. We become universes.”
Félix Guattari, What Is Philosophy?

Hermann Hesse
“...and suddenly the forgotten melody of those notes of the piano came back to me again. It soared aloft like a soap bubble, relfecting the whole world in miniature on its rainbow surface, and then softly burst. could I be altogether lost when that heavenly little melody had been secretly rooted within me and now put forth its lovely bloom with all its tender hues?”
Hermann Hesse, Steppenwolf
