Forsaken Fortress

Famous quotes containing the words forsaken and/or fortress:

    There are no instances known to me of cultures having forsaken Truth or renounced the understanding in its widest sense.
    Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)

    Man is exceedingly well defended against himself, against being scouted out and besieged by himself, and he is usually able to make out no more of himself than his outer fortifications. The actual fortress is inaccessible to him, even invisible, unless his friends and enemies turn traitor to him and lead him there by secret paths.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
