"We must recognize that all beings want the same thing we want. This is the way to achieve a true understanding, unfettered by artificial consideration."

Previous Quote

When reality becomes unbearable, the mind must withdraw from it and create a world of artificial perfection. Plato's world of pure Ideas and Forms, which alone is to be considered as real, whereas the world of nature which we perceive is merely its cheap Woolworth copy, is a flight into delusion.

— Arthur Koestler
