George Bernard Shaw
“The longer I live the more I see that I am never wrong about anything, and that all the pains I have so humbly taken to verify my notions have only wasted my time.”
George Bernard Shaw

Franz Kafka
“When you stand in front of me and look at me, what do you know of the griefs that are in me and what do I know of yours? And if I were to cast myself down before you and weep and tell you, what more would you know about me than you know about Hell when someone tells you it is hot and dreadful? For that reason alone we human beings ought to stand before one another as reverently, as reflectively, as lovingly, as we would before the entrance to Hell.”
Franz Kafka

José Saramago
“we would understand much more about life’s complexities if we applied ourselves to an assiduous study of its contradictions, instead of wasting time
on identities and coherences, seeing as these have a duty to provide their own explanations.”
José Saramago, The Cave

George Orwell
“The more one is aware of political bias the more one can be independent of it & the more one claims to be impartial the more one is biased.”
George Orwell

George Eliot
“No great deed is done by falterers who ask for certainty.”
George Eliot
