Hermann Hesse
“I have been and still am a seeker, but I have ceased to question stars and books; I have begun to listen to the teaching my blood whispers to me.”
Hermann Hesse, Demian: Die Geschichte von Emil Sinclairs Jugend

Percy Bysshe Shelley
“Ozymandias"

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
'My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
Percy Bysshe Shelley, Rosalind and Helen: A Modern Eclogue With Other Poems

Walter Lippmann
“Where all think alike, no one thinks very much.”
Walter Lippmann

Werner Heisenberg
“What we observe is not nature itself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning.”
Werner Heisenberg, Physics and Philosophy: The Revolution in Modern Science

Ludwig Wittgenstein
“Nothing is so difficult as not deceiving oneself.”
Ludwig Wittgenstein, Culture and Value
