Søren Kierkegaard
“A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that's just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it's a joke.”
Soren Kierkegaard, Either/Or, Part I

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
“It is manifest that behind the so-called curtain which is supposed to conceal the inner world, there is nothing to be seen unless we go behind it ourselves, as much in order that we may see, as that there may be something behind there which can be seen.”
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Phenomenology of Spirit

René Daumal
“A knife is neither true nor false, but anyone impaled on its blade is in error.”
Rene Daumal, Mount Analogue

Robert  Burton
“I am not poor, I am not rich; nihil est, nihil deest, I have little, I want nothing: all my treasure is in Minerva’s tower...I live still a collegiate student...and lead a monastic life, ipse mihi theatrum [sufficient entertainment to myself], sequestered from those tumults and troubles of the world...aulae vanitatem, fori ambitionem, ridere mecum soleo [I laugh to myself at the vanities of the court, the intrigues of public life], I laugh at all.”
Robert Burton, The Anatomy of Melancholy

Lucan
“God cheats men into living on by hiding how blessed it is to die.”
Lucanus, De bello civili libri X (Bibliotheca scriptorum Graecorum et Romanorum Teubneriana)
