Quote by Albert Camus

The world evades us because it becomes itself again. That stage scenery masked by habit becomes what it is. It withdraws at a distance from us.

Summary

This quote suggests that the world sometimes feels distant and elusive to us because we become so accustomed to its familiar patterns and routines. As our habits and perceptions mask the true essence of the world, it takes on a sense of separate existence, withdrawing from our immediate experience. The quote implies that by breaking free from our habitual ways of perceiving, we can potentially rediscover and engage with the world in a more meaningful and conscious way.

Children being children, however, the grotesque Hopping Pot

Children being children, however, the grotesque Hopping Pot had taken hold of their imaginations. The solution was to jettison the pro-Muggle moral but keep the warty cauldron, so by the middle of the sixteenth century a different version of the tale was in wide circulation among wizarding families. In the revised story, the Hopping Pot protects an innocent wizard from his torch-bearing, pitchfork-toting neighbours by chasing them away from the wizard's cottage, catching them and swallowing them whole.

He tells himself over and over again in any choice presented to him, 'Prefer the hard.' This holds good not only in great matters, but also in very small, in fighting by the frozen Danube and in starting the day early.

Marcus Aurelius

For many ages it has been allowed by sensible men, Nihil est

For many ages it has been allowed by sensible men, Nihil est in intellectu quod non fuit prius in sensu: That is, There is nothing in the understanding which was not first perceived by some of the senses. All the knowledge which we naturally have is originally derived from our senses. And therefore those who want any sense cannot have the least knowledge or idea of the objects of that sense; as they that never had sight have not the least knowledge or conception of light or colours.
