CaveatEmptor

“In the center of an irrational universe governed by an irrational Mind stands rational man.”
― Philip K. Dick, Valis

“Nothing is so dangerous as being too modern.  One is apt to grow old-fashioned quite suddenly. ”
― Oscar Wilde, An Ideal Husband

“The effect on all individuals, which one would like to see realized, may not set in for hundreds of years, for the spiritual transformation of mankind follows the slow tread of the centuries and cannot be hurried or held up by any rational process of reflection, let alone brought to fruition in one generation. What does lie within our reach, however, is the change in individuals who have, or create for themselves, an opportunity to influence others of like mind. I do not mean by persuading or preaching—I am thinking, rather, of the well-known fact that anyone who has insight into his own actions, and has thus found access to the unconscious, involuntarily exercises an influence on his environment. The deepening and broadening of his consciousness produce the kind of effect which the primitives call “mana.” It is an unintentional influence on the unconscious of others, a sort of unconscious prestige, and its effect lasts only so long as it is not disturbed by conscious intention.”
― Carl Jung, The Undiscovered Self/Symbols and the Interpretation of Dreams

“One should never try to prove anything that is not almost obvious.”
― Alexander Grothendieck
