Summary

This quote humorously suggests that sometimes, discussions and debates about political matters can become so complicated and unresolvable that they resemble a tangled knot. When words and arguments fail to untie the knot, the quote playfully suggests that resorting to a "battle" or conflict may be the only way to find a solution. It implies that in certain situations, action and force may triumph over verbal communication in resolving staunch political disagreements.

I believe that there never was a creator of a philosophical system who did not confess at the end of his life that he had wasted his time.

He who imagined a ship towers considerably above him who imagined innate ideas.

The typical human life seems to be quite unplanned, undirected, unlived, and unsavored. Only those who consciously think about the adventure of living as a matter of making choices among options, which they have found for themselves, ever establish real self-control and live their lives fully.

The thing is that love gives us a ringside seat on somebody

The thing is that love gives us a ringside seat on somebody else's flaws, so of course you're gonna spot some things that kinda need to be mentioned. But often the romantic view is to say, 'If you loved me, you wouldn't criticise me.' Actually, true love is often about trying to teach someone how to be the best version of themselves.
