Tao Te Ching

“The need of reason is not inspired by the quest for truth but by the quest for meaning. And truth and meaning are not the same. The basic fallacy, taking precedence over all specific metaphysical fallacies, is to interpret meaning on the model of truth.”

— Hannah Arendt 1906 – 1975 CE
Fearless researcher into the darker reaches of the human psyche
