“A man who doesn't know the truth is just an idiot, but a man who knows the truth and calls it a lie is a crook.”
― Bertolt Brecht, Galileo

“The real difference in the believer who follows Christ and has mortified his will and died after the old man in Christ, is that he is more clearly aware than other men of the rebelliousness and perennial pride of the flesh, he is conscious of his sloth and self-indulgence and knows that his arrogance must be eradicated. Hence there is a need for daily self-discipline.”
― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship

“The more unintelligent a man is, the less mysterious existence seems to him.”
― Arthur Schopenhauer

“Men have been found to resist the most powerful monarchs and to refuse to bow down before them, but few indeed have been found to resist the crowd, to stand up alone before misguided masses, to face their implacable frenzy without weapons and with folded arms to dare a no when a yes is demanded. Such a man was Zola!”
― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
