He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

If we take in our hands any volume... let us ask, "Does it contain any abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number?" No. "Does it contain any experimental reasoning concerning matter of fact and existence?" No. Commit it then to the flames, for it can contain nothing but sophistry and illusion.
--Hume
When Hume was dying a friend asked him if he believed in life after death. He is said to have answered: "It is also possible that a knob of coal placed upon the fire will not burn."
And from Goethe's Faust--as Faust dies and looks back on his life's work, he says in triumph:
Quote:
Then to the moment could I say:
Linger you now, you are so fair!
Now records of my earthly day
No Flights of aeons can impair--
Foreknowledge comes, and fills me with such bliss,
I take my joy, my highest moment this.
But then it's the Devil's turn. As soon as Faust dies, he exclaims:
Quote:
A foolish word, bygone.
How so then, gone?
Gone, to Sheer Nothing, past with null made one!
What matters creative endles toil,
When, at a snatch, oblivion ends the coil?
'It is bygone'--How shall this riddle run?
As good as if things never had begun,
Yet circle back, existence to possess:
I'd rather have Eternal Emptiness.

I did a great deal of maturing in Leipzig, a vast amount of masturbating, and not nearly so much whoring as I should have done.
The irony of my life is that I praise the strong, sympathize with the weak, and bear an unquenchable love for the utterly helpless. It is this impossible contradiction in my life which reconciles me to my present dwelling among the lesser gods.
A quarrel between philosophers should be taken as seriously as a philosophical argument between two bricklayers.

"It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known."

Well, shit. There goes pretty much all the youtube videos people post around here for "evidence" of some thing or another they can't explain but are quite sure of.

There is little conjunction of truth and social "reality". Around us are pseudo-events, to which we adjust with a false consciousness adapted to see these events as true and real, and even as beautiful. In the society of men the truth resides now less in what things are than in what they are not. Our social realities are so ugly if seen in the light of exiled truth, and beauty is almost no longer possible if it is not a lie. What is to be done? We who are still half alive, living in the often fibrillating heartland of a senescent capitalism — can we do more than reflect the decay around and within us? Can we do more than sing our sad and bitter songs of disillusion and defeat? The requirement of the present, the failure of the past, is the same: to provide a thoroughly self-conscious and self-critical human account of man
