“ Desire urges me on, while fear bridals me. ”
They dispute not in order to find or even to seek Truth, but for victory, and to appear the more learned and strenuous upholders of a contrary opinion. Such persons should be avoided by all who have not a good breastplate of patience.
~ Giordano Bruno
Perchance you who pronounce my sentence are in greater fear than I who receive it.
Maybe you who condemn me are in greater fear than I who am condemned.
If the butterfly wings its way to the sweet light that attracts it, it's only becasue it doesn't know that the fire can consume it.
