Summary

This quote suggests that everyone is prone to some form of madness or irrationality, but what distinguishes a philosopher is their ability to scrutinize and understand their own delusions.

Then in the conflict itself you are likely enough to dislocate your wrist or twist your ankle, to swallow a great deal of dust, or to be severely thrashed, and, after all these things, to be defeated.
