“To become wise you have to want to experience certain experiences, and so to run into their open jaws. This is very dangerous, to be sure; many a wise man has been eaten up in doing so.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
“There is no ordinary Part of humane Life which expresseth so much a good Mind, and a right inward Man, as his Behaviour upon Meeting with Strangers, especially such as may seem the most unsuitable Companions to him: Such a Man when he falleth in the Way with Persons of Simplicity and Innocence, however knowing he may be in the Ways of Men, will not vaunt himself thereof; but will the rather hide his Superiority to them, that he may not be painful unto them.”
—Richard Steele (16721729)
