A little philosophy makes men aetheists: A great deal reconciles them to religion.
Francis Bacon
A little philosophy makes men aetheists: A great deal reconciles them to religion.
Francis Bacon
I asked for very little from life, and even this little was denied me. A nearby field, a ray of sunlight, a little bit of calm along with a bit of bread, not to feel oppressed by the knowledge that I exist, not to demand anything from others, and not to have others demand anything from me – this was denied me, like the spare change we might deny a beggar not because we are mean-hearted but because we don’t feel like unbuttoning our coat.
Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet
Every deed and every relationship is surrounded by an atmosphere of silence. Friendship needs no words- it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.
Dag Hammarskjöld
