Li Bai
“No one understands now. Those who could
hear a song this deeply vanished long ago.”
Li Po

Friedrich Nietzsche
“Like a last signpost to the other path, Napoleon appeared, the most isolated and late-born man there has even been, and in him the problem of the noble ideal as such made flesh--one might well ponder what kind of problem it is; Napoleon this synthesis of the inhuman and the superhuman”
Friedrich Nietzsche, On the Genealogy of Morals / Ecce Homo

Christopher Lasch
“We demand too much of life, too little of ourselves.”
Christopher Lasch, The Culture of Narcissism: American Life in an Age of Diminishing Expectations

Gore Vidal
“That's why Priscus is wisest of all: silence cannot be judged. Silence masks all things or no thing. Only Priscus can tell us what his silence conceals, but since he won't, we suspect him great.”
Gore Vidal, Julian

Eugene O'Neill
“To hell with the truth! As the history of the world proves, the truth has no bearing on anything. It's irrelevant and immaterial, as the lawyers say. The lie of a pipe dream is what gives life to the whole misbegotten mad lot of us, drunk or sober.”
Eugene O'Neill, The Iceman Cometh
