» More quotes about: Conformity
FacebookTwitter
Perhaps the whole root of our trouble, the human trouble, is that we will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives, will imprison ourselves in totems, taboos, crosses, blood sacrifices, steeples, mosques, races, armies, flags, nations, in order to deny the f

» More quotes about: Experience
FacebookTwitter
Experience is a private, and a very largely speechless affair.
» More quotes about: Experience
FacebookTwitter
There are few things more dreadful than dealing with a man who knows he is going under, in his own eyes, and in the eyes of others. Nothing can help that man. What is left of that man flees from what is left of human attention.
