    “Unaware of the absurdity of it, we introduce our own petty household rules into the economy of the universe for which the life of generations, peoples, of entire planets, has no importance in relation to the general development.”
    —Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)

    “Science is the language of the temporal world; love is that of the spiritual world. Man, indeed, describes more than he explains; while the angelic spirit sees and understands. Science saddens man; love enraptures the angel; science is still seeking, love has found. Man judges of nature in relation to itself; the angelic spirit judges of it in relation to heaven. In short to the spirits everything speaks.”
    —HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    “Our sympathy is cold to the relation of distant misery.”
    —Edward Gibbon (1737–1794)

    “A great man’s followers are accustomed to blinding themselves so they can sing his praises better.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
