“Imagine a set of people all living in the same building. Half of them think it is a hotel, the other half think it is a prison. Those who think it a hotel might regard it as quite intolerable, and those who thought it was a prison might decide that it was really surprisingly comfortable. So that what seems the ugly doctrine is one that comforts and strengthens you in the end. The people who try to hold an optimistic view of this world would become pessimists: the people who hold a pretty stern view of it become optimistic.” PeopleThinkingWorldTryingEndsSeemsMightViewsHalfImagineThis WorldBuildingComfortComfortableRegardPrisonUglyDoctrineOptimisticHotelPessimistOther Half Author:C.

“Lying is a disgraceful vice, and one that Plutarch paints in most disgraceful colors, when he says that it is "affording testimony that one first despises God, and then fears men." It is not possible more happily to describe its horrible, disgusting, and abandoned nature; for can we imagine anything more vile than to be cowards with regard to men, and brave with regard to God.” MenFirstsLyingImagineColorRegardBravePaintVicesHorribleCowardAbandonedDespiseDisgustingTestimonyDisgracefulAffording Author:Michel de Montaigne
“I imagine it great vanity in me to suppose that the Supremely Perfect does in the least regard such an inconsiderable nothing as man. More especially, since it is impossible for me to have any positive, clear idea of that which is infinite and incomprehensible, I cannot conceive otherwise than that He, the Infinite Father, expects or requires no worship or praise from us, but that He is even infinitely above it.” MenDoeIdeasGodFatherReligiousPerfectClearImagineImpossibleWorshipPraiseInfiniteRegardVanity Book:A Benjamin Franklin Reader Source: A Benjamin Franklin Reader

“We regard the photograph, the picture on our wall, as the object itself (the man, landscape, and so on) depicted there. This need not have been so. We could easily imagine people who did not have this relation to such pictures. Who, for example, would be repelled by photographs, because a face without color and even perhaps a face in reduced proportions struck them as inhuman.” PeopleMenNeedsHas BeensWould BeFacesImagineExampleObjectsColorWallPhotographyRelationRegardPhotographLandscapeProportionInhuman Author:Ludwig Wittgenstein
