Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.
Saint-Exupery
Pure logic is the ruin of the spirit.
Saint-Exupery
A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep.
Saul Bellow
As in Rome there is, apart from the Romans, a population of statues, so apart from this real world there is a world of illusion, almost more potent, in which most men live.
Goethe
The foolish reject what they see, not what they think; the wise reject what they think, not what they see.
Huang Po
