“The state, I call it, where all are poison-drinkers, the good and the bad: the state, where all lose themselves, the good and the bad: the state, where the slow suicide of all — is called "life."
Just see these superfluous ones! They steal the works of the inventors and the treasures of the wise. Culture, they call their theft — and everything becometh sickness and trouble unto them!

― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra

“A nation is born stoic, and dies epicurean”
― Will Durant

“الفن هو كل ما يهزنا... و ليس بالضرورة كل ما نفهمه”

“Some people say, How can you live without knowing? I do not know what they mean. I always live without knowing. That is easy. How you get to know is what I want to know.”
