Frederick Von Schiller > German philosopher and poet (1759-1805)
If you want to know yourself, see how others behave; if you want to understand others, look into your own heart
Frederick Nietzsche 1844-1900

The most characteristic quality of modern man: the remarkable antithesis between an interior which fails to correspond to any exterior and an exterior which fails to correspond to any interior - an antithesis unknown to peoples of other times. Knowledge... now no longer acts as an agent for transforming the outside world but remains concealed.
