Somebody

"But somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looks like a girlfriend 
That I had in February of last year"

"Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people."
Carl Jung  
 
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” 
Emerson 
              
"People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest."

Hermann Hesse

  

• Polonius: [Aside] Though this be madness, yet there is method in 't. — Will you walk out of the air, my lord?
  Hamlet: Into my grave.
  • scene ii

We know what we are, but know not what we may be.  

• Ophelia, scene v

Shakespeare 

  

-“We should forgive our enemies, but not before they are hanged”  

-“In dark ages people are best guided by religion, as in a pitch-black night a blind man is the best guide; he knows the roads and paths    better than a man who can see. When daylight comes, however, it is foolish to use blind, old men as guides.”

-“The real madness probably is not another thing that the wisdom itself that, tired of discovering the shames of the world, has taken the intelligent resolution to become mad”

Heinrich Heine 

 

“How much blood and horror is at the bottom of all 'good things'!”

-"It was Heinrich Heine who gave me the most perfect idea of what a lyrical poet could be...Such things a man cannot guess—he either has it or he does not.  The great poet draws his creations only from out of his own reality.  This is often to such an extent that often after a period of time he can no longer endure his own work... Is Hamlet understood?  It is not doubt but certitude that drives one mad..."

-"For a philosopher to say, 'the good and the beautiful are one,' is infamous; if he goes on to add 'also the true,' one ought to thrash him. Truth is ugly"

 Nietzsche
