“I tell you: one must still have chaos in oneself, to give birth to a dancing star. I tell you: you have still chaos in yourselves.”
― Nietzche

“Ars longa, vita brevis, occasio praeceps, experimentum periculosum, iudicium difficile" (Life is short, [the] craft long, opportunity fleeting, experiment treacherous, judgment difficult)”
― Hippocrates

“Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough.”
― Richard Feynman

“The world is greater than that -- I smile
and I think of my hilarity as a covey
in flight from a house collapsing.
Lose yourself if you wish to find yourself; desire
so as not to have.”
― Mario Luzi, In the Dark Body of Metamorphosis and Other Poems.
