"If I didn’t have ichthyophobia before (i did), i certainly do now (i am shaken to my core)
I have never been so frightened of a fictional creature before but I genuinely do not think I’ll sleep well tonight. Which is a testament to how well written and moving this writing is, and also to how easily influenced I am by my lifelong irrational phobia of large fish 😭" — Nov 03, 2024 12:21AM

“The less you eat, drink, buy books, go to the theatre or to balls, or to the pub, and the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you will be able to save and the greater will become your treasure which neither moth nor rust will corrupt—your capital. The less you are, the less you express your life, the more you have, the greater is your alienated life and the greater is the saving of your alienated being.”
― Economic & Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844

“What transforms this world is — knowledge. Do you see what I mean? Nothing else can change anything in this world. Knowledge alone is capable of transforming the world, while at the same time leaving it exactly as it is. When you look at the world with knowledge, you realize that things are unchangeable and at the same time are constantly being transformed.”
