Kurt Vonnegut

Ludwig Wittgenstein
“Philosophy hasn't made any progress? - If somebody scratches the spot where he has an itch, do we have to see some progress? Isn't genuine scratching otherwise, or genuine itching itching?

Ludwig Wittgenstein, Culture and Value

Plato
“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.”
Plato
