Giacomo Leopardi
“Children find everything in nothing, men find nothing in everything.”
Giacomo Leopardi, Zibaldone di pensieri

Simone de Beauvoir
“I cannot withdraw into myself. I exist, outside myself and everywhere in the world. There is not an inch of my path which does not encroach on the path of another: there is no way of being that can prevent me from overflowing myself at every moment. This life that I weave with my own substance, it offers other men a thousand unknown faces, it crosses impetuously their fate.”
Simone de Beauvoir, The Blood of Others

Ludwig Wittgenstein
“What finds its reflection in language, language cannot represent.

What expresses itself in language, we cannot express by means of language.”
Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus Logico-Philisophicus

Jordan B. Peterson
“I don't think that you have any insight whatsoever into your capacity for good until you have some well-developed insight into your capacity for evil.”
Jordan B. Peterson

Wisława Szymborska
“Dividing earth and sky
is not the right way
to think about this wholeness.
It only allows one to live
at a more precise address--
were I to be searched for
I'd be found much faster.
My distinguishing marks
are rapture and despair.


From 'Sky', in the collection 'Miracle Fair”
Wislawa Szymborska
