“The majority of men in every generation, even those who, as it is described, devote themselves to thinking, live and die under the impression that life is simply a matter of understanding more and more, and that if it were granted to them to live longer, that life would continue to be one long continuous growth in understanding. How many of them ever experience the maturity of discovering that there comes a critical moment where everything is reversed, after which the point becomes to understand more and more that there is something which cannot be understood.”
― Søren Kierkegaard, The Journals of Kierkegaard

“What we need is more sense of the wonder of life and less of this business of making a picture.”
― Robert Henri, The Art Spirit

“Free man is by necessity insecure; thinking man by necessity uncertain.”
― Erich Fromm

“Sure, the physical entity of my body and my brain is there, but the “I” attached to it only exists as a thought—and only when I think it.”
― Chris Niebauer, No Self, No Problem: How Neuropsychology Is Catching Up to Buddhism
