Humanity Quotes
-
Knowledge builds on the past and has its place. Wisdom is beyond time. It's the direct perception of reality as it is.

As soon as any one is near me, his personality disturbs my self-complacency and restricts my freedom. In twenty-four hours I begin to hate the best of men: one because he's too long over his dinner; another because he has a cold and keeps on blowing his nose. I become hostile to people the moment they come close to me. But it has always happened that the more I detest men individually the more ardent becomes my love for humanity.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
