Descartes [...] recognized only the authority of reason: but reason is only a tool, and Descartes was superficial.

- Beyond Good And Evil, by Friedrich Nietzsche

الحب هو أكثر الحالات الإنسانية تحيّزًا وتعصّبًا لأنه يتضمن تمييز المحبوب وتفضيله عمّن سواه.
And the lover is the most fanatic and judgemental of all humans.

Also...

I love it when I think or talk about something, then, a day or two later, find the same idea hidden in the pages of a great book or movie, or someone mentions it in a conversation.

خاصةً وية نيتشه وأمثاله، لأنه يكتب بأُسلوب الخواطر بحيث نفس الصفحة ممكن كلش تحتوي على 10 أفكار مختلفة.

Reading sometimes feels like excavation: I read because I'm looking for my ideas, better articulated.

تذكرت Wittgenstein ونيتشه، جانوا يكولون أنّ ما يهم شكد انت ذكي وشكد تقرة كتبهم بتركيز وانتباه... ما دمت ما تملك نفس أفكارهم من البداية، فما رح تفهمها أصلًا

It isn’t absurd, e.g., to believe that the age of science and technology is the beginning of the end for humanity; that the idea of great progress is a delusion, along with the idea that the truth will ultimately be known; that there is nothing good or desirable about scientific knowledge and that mankind, in seeking it, is falling into a trap. It is by no means obvious that this is not how things are.

- Ludwig Wittgenstein
