If I am fool, it is, at least, a doubting one; and I envy no one the certainty of his self-approved wisdom. ↗

Sorrow is knowledge, those that know the most must mourn the deepest, the tree of knowledge is not the tree of life. ↗

Why is wisdom so fair? Why is beauty so wise? Because all else is temporary, while beauty and wisdom are the only real and constant aspects of truth that can be perceived by human means. And I don't mean the kind of surface beauty that fades with age, or the sort of shallow wisdom that gets lost in platitudes. True beauty grips your gut and squeezes your lungs, and makes you see with utmost clarity exactly what is before you. True wisdom then steps in, to interpret, illuminate, and form a life-altering insight. ↗
