Quotes about clarity:
What can be said at all can be said clearly, and what we cannot talk about we must pass over in silence.

Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams who looks inside, awakes.

The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink.



Quotes for: philosopher
I do not know what the spirit of a philosopher could more wish to be than a good dancer. For the dance is his ideal, also his fine art, finally also the only kind of piety he knows, his 'divine service.'

The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it.

To the poet, to the philosopher, to the saint, all things are friendly and sacred, all events profitable, all days holy, all men divine.
