“And so, through all the thick mists of the dim doubts in my mind, divine intuitions now and then shoot, enkindling my fog with a heavenly ray. And for this I thank God; for all have doubts; many deny; but doubts or denials, few along with them, have intuitions. Doubts of all things earthly, and intuitions of some things heavenly; this combination makes neither believer nor infidel, but makes a man who regards them both with equal eye.” MenMindEyeDoubtDivineEqualAll ThingsRegardDenyIntuitionBelieverDenialCombinationHeavenlyRaysThank GodThickNow And ThenFogMistInfidel Book:Moby-Dick Source: Moby-Dick
“Everywhere we remain unfree and chained to technology, whether we passionately affirm or deny it. But we are delivered over to it in the worst possible way when we regard it as something neutral; for this conception of it, to which today we particularly like to do homage, makes us utterly blind to the essence of technology.” WayTodayTechnologyWorstEssenceRegardBlindDenyConceptionHomageChainedUnfree Author:Martin Heidegger

“If the denial of death is self-hatred, as it is to deny our freedom and live in fear of death (which is to say, to live in a form of bondage), then the acceptance and affirmation of death is indeed a form of self-love. But I'd want to make a distinction between a form of self-love which is essential to what it means to be human, and a narcissism of self-regard, like Rousseau's distinction between amour de soi and amour propre, self-love and pride.” IfsWantHumansMeanSelfFormAcceptancePrideSelf LoveEssentialsHatredRegardDenyDenialDistinctionNarcissismAffirmationBondageFear Of DeathAmourSelf HatredWhat It Means To Be HumanDenial Of Death Author:Simon Critchley
“Men best show their character in trifles, where they are not on their guard.

“My own view on religion is that of Lucretius. I regard it as a disease born of fear and as a source of untold misery to the human race. I cannot, however, deny that it has made some contributions to civilisation. It helped in early days to fix the calendar, and it caused Egyptian priests to chronicle eclipses with such care that in time they became able to predict them. These two services I am prepared to acknowledge, but I do not know of any others.” KnowsHumansMadeTwoCareAbleReligionBornMy OwnViewsRaceSourceDiseaseRegardMiseryPreparedDenyAcknowledgeHuman RaceContributionPriestsCivilisationCalendarsEclipseEgyptianChronicles Book:A Fresh Look at Empiricism: 1927-42 Source: A Fresh Look at Empiricism: 1927-42
