“As long as truths do not cut into our flesh with knives, we retain a secret contempt for them.”
—Daybreak, §460 (excerpt).

“No, it is impossible; it is impossible to convey the life-sensation of any given epoch of one’s existence--that which makes its truth, its meaning--its subtle and penetrating essence. It is impossible. We live, as we dream--alone.”
― Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness
