“If we have dwelled on Godel's work at some length, is it because we see it in the mathematical analogy of what we would call the the ultimate paradox of man's existence. Man is ultimately subject and object of his quest. While the question whether the mind can be considered to be anything like a formalized system, as defined in the preceding paragraph, is probably unanswerable, his quest for an understanding of the meaning of his existence is an attempt at formalization.” IfsMenMindUnderstandingExistenceAtheismSubjectsObjectsUltimatePositive AtheismDefinedMathematicalLengthParadoxQuestsAnalogiesParagraph Author:Paul Watzlawick

This is concentration!” WayMatterGivenSecretAttentionSubjectsPlentyConcentrationLengthPassagesYou Choose Author:Napoleon Hill
“What is this world? A complex whole, subject to endless revolutions. All these revolutions show a continual tendency to destruction; a swift succession of beings who follow one another, press forward, and vanish; a fleeting symmetry; the order of a moment. I reproached you just now with estimating the perfection of things by your own capacity; and I might accuse you here of measuring its duration by the length of your own days.” WorldWholeMomentsShowsMightOrderSubjectsThis WorldRevolutionCapacityPerfectionDestructionPressesComplexesEndlessTendenciesLengthFleetingSuccessionDurationMeasuringSymmetryEstimating Author:Denis Diderot
