Jacques Lacan
“There is something in you I like more than yourself. Therefore I must destroy you”
Jacques Lacan

Roger Scruton
“Beauty is vanishing from our world because we live as though it did not matter.”
Roger Scruton, Beauty

Martin Heidegger
“only he who already understands can listen”
Martin Heidegger, Being and Time

J.L. Mackie
“the abandonment of a belief in objective values can cause, at least temporarily, a decay of subjective concern and sense of purpose. That it does so is evidence that the people in whom this reaction occurs have been tending to objectify their concerns and purposes, have been giving them a fictitious external authority. A claim to objectivity has been so strongly associated with their subjective concerns and purposes that the collapse of the former seems to undermine the latter as well.”
John Leslie Mackie, Ethics: Inventing Right and Wrong

M.C. Escher
“There is something in such laws that takes the breath away. They are not discoveries or inventions of the human mind, but exist independently of us. In a moment of clarity, one can at most discover that they are there and take them into account. Long before there were people on the earth, crystals were already growing in the earth's crust. On one day or another, a human being first came across such a sparkling morsel of regularity lying on the ground or hit one with his stone tool and it broke off and fell at his feet, and he picked it up and regarded it in his open hand, and he was amazed.”
M.C. Escher, The World of M.C. Escher
