But strangely it will always be the same topics or subjects that are so important to me.

Hannah Arendt

Truth is like the stars; it does not appear except from behind obscurity of the night. Truth is like all beautiful things in the world; it does not disclose its desirability except to those who first feel the influence of falsehood.
