gnothi seauton

Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

"Because we untimely and in many cases even read too often, we recieve a load of materials which we don’t use to build up something and our memory becomes used to manage our feeling and our taste. Thats why there’s often need for a profound philosophy to give back the original state of purity, that we provide a way out of the rubble of things that are strange to us, starting feeling self, speaking self and, i would almost say, at last also to exisist self"
