To hold infinity in the palm of your hands, and eternity in an hour, see the world in a grain of sand, and see heaven in a wild flower.
— William Blake
“A philosopher is a human being who constantly experiences, sees, hears, suspects, hopes, and dreams extraordinary things; who is struck by his own thoughts as from outside, as from above and below, as by his type of experiences and lightning bolts; who is perhaps himself a storm pregnant with new lightnings; a fatal human being around whom there are constant rumblings and growlings, crevices, and uncanny doings. A philosopher - alas, a being that often runs away from itself, often is afraid of itself - but too inquisitive not to “come to” again - always back to himself.”
— Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil (via eternalsages)
