Dont get involved in partial problems, but always take flight to where there is a free view over the whole single great problem, even if this view is still not a clear one. – Ludwig Wittgenstein
There is no progress whatever. Everything is just the same as it was thousands, and tens of thousands, of years ago. The outward form changes. The essence does not change. – Robert Louis Stevenson
