Peter L. Berger
“The botanist looking at a daffodil has no reason to dispute the right of the poet to look at the same object in a very different manner. There are many ways of playing. The point is not that one denies other people’s games but that one is clear about the rules of one’s own.”
Peter L. Berger, Invitation to Sociology: A Humanistic Perspective

Thomas Hobbes
“For such is the nature of man, that howsoever they may acknowledge many others to be more witty, or more eloquent, or more learned; Yet they will hardly believe there be many so wise as themselves: For they see their own wit at hand, and other mens at a distance.”
Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan

William Blake
“Without Contraries is no Progression.”
William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell

Aristotle
“The physician and the philosopher have different ways of defining the diseases of the soul. For instance anger for the philosopher is a sentiment born of the desire to return an offense, whereas for the physician it is a surging of blood around the heart.”
Aristotle, De Anima

Criss Jami
“If you assume that the new - and simply because it's new - is always to be better than the old, chances are you've never known anything valuable.”
Criss Jami, Healology
