A man may not know what will happen as a result of other people’s actions or as the result of unknown causes, but he always knows all possible result… - Petr Uspensky

all true art is in fact nothing but an attempt to
transmit the sensation of ecstasy...evil always consists in the transforming of something great into something small...a living cell contains something that is lacking in a dead one...life and thought, are in the domain of the unmeasurable...the very great majority of our ideas are not the products of evolution but the product of the degeneration of ideas...Man is pre-eminently a transitional form...truth includes all in itself...Civilisation never starts by natural growth but only through artificial cultivation...People who think that something can be attained by their own efforts are as blind as those who are utterly ignorant of the possibilities of the new knowledge...Most people can except truth only in the form of a lie.

It is only when we realize that life is taking us nowhere that it begins to have meaning.

a man can be given only what he can use; and he can use only that for which he has sacrificed something
