Not that smart

Favourite Philosopher

Wittgenstein, Nietzsche, Camus

Favourite Quotations

" The most destitute of men often end up by accepting illusion. That approval prompted by the need for peace inwardly parallels the existential consent.
There are thus gods of light and idles of mud, but it is essential to find the middle path that leads to the faces of man " - Camus
