“The entire Ethics is a voyage in immanence; but immanence is the unconscious itself, and the conquest of the unconscious. Ethical joy is the correlate of speculative affirmation.”

“وقد فتشتُ عن أصحاب دين * لهم نُسْك وليس لهم رياء..
فألفيتُ البهائم لا عقول * تقيم لها الدليل ولا ضياء..
وإخوان الفطانة في اختيال * كأنهمُ لقوم أنبياء..
فأما هؤلاء فأهل مكر * وأما الأولون فأغبياء..
فإن كان التُّقَى بَلَها وعِيّا * فأعيار المذلة أتقياء..”

“The art of not reading is a very important one. It consists in not taking an interest in whatever may be engaging the attention of the general public at any particular time. When some political or ecclesiastical pamphlet, or novel, or poem is making a great commotion, you should remember that he who writes for fools always finds a large public. A precondition for reading good books is not reading bad ones: for life is short.”
