Maybe a man has to sell his soul to get the power to do good.
The lack of a sense of history is the damnation of the modern world.
Everything seems an echo of something else.
The end of man is knowledge, but there is one thing he can't know. He can't know whether knowledge will save him or kill him. He will be killed, all right, but he can't know whether he is killed because of the knowledge which he has got or because of the knowledge which he hasn't got and which if he had it, would save him.
