Quote by Cath Crowley

“words do matter. They’re not pointless. If they were pointless then they couldn’t start revolutions and they wouldn’t change history and they wouldn’t be the things that you think about every night before you go to sleep. If they were just words we wouldn’t listen to songs,”

“For us, the falsity of a judgment is still no objection to that judgment — that’s where our new way of speaking sounds perhaps most strange. The question is the extent to which it makes demands on life, sustains life, maintains the species, perhaps even creates species. And as a matter of principle we are ready to assert that the falsest judgments (to which a priori synthetic judgments belong) are the most indispensable to us, that without our allowing logical fictions to count, without a way of measuring reality against the purely invented world of the unconditional and self-identical, without a constant falsification of the world through numbers, human beings could not live — that if we managed to give up false judgments, it would amount to a renunciation of life, a denial of life. To concede the fictional nature of the conditions of life means, of course, taking a dangerous stand against the customary feelings about value. A philosophy which dares to do that is for this reason alone already standing beyond good and evil.”

“Но може би никого той не възнагради като мен малко преди да почине. Карлос веднъж за винаги даде отговор на въпроса дали е разумно и уместно да се преследват "амбициозни" цели в терапията с терминално болните. Когато последно го посетих в болницата, той беше толкова слаб, че едва се движеше, но вдигна глава, стисна ръката ми и прошепна: - Благодаря. Благодаря, че спаси живота ми.”
