“Lass dir Alles geschehn: Schönheit und Schrecken.

― Rainer Maria Rilke

“All these bold birds who fly out into the wide, widest open—it is true! At some point they will not be able to fly any farther and will squat down on some pylon or sparse crag—and very grateful for this miserable accommodation to boot! But who would want to conclude from this that there was no longer a vast and prodigious trajectory ahead of them, that they had flown as far and wide as one could fly! All our great mentors and precursors have finally come to a stop, and it is hardly the noblest and most graceful of gestures with which fatigue comes to a stop: it will also happen to you and me! Of what concern, however, is that to you and me! Other birds will fly farther!”
― Freidrich Nietzsche

“Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you.”
― Friedrich W. Nietzsche

“After Gell-Man was done, Amos said, “You know, Murray, there is no one in the world who is as smart as you think you are.”
― Michael Lewis, The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our Minds
