If the capacity of knowing be the natural Impression contended for, all the Truths a man ever comes to know, will, by this Account, be, every one of them, innate.
If the only test of innateness is knowing, then all of our knowledge is innate
John Locke (Essay Conc Human Understanding (2nd Ed) [1694], 1.02.05)
A nation cannot create indefinitely. It is called upon to give expression and meaning to a sum of values which are exhausted with the soul which has begotten them.
A nation gives expression to its sum of values, and is then exhausted
E.M. Cioran (A Short History of Decay [1949], 3)
I can't stay here
I am not the girl
Who runs and hides
Afraid of what could be
And I will go there
I need time, but know
That things are always closer
Than they seem
Now I'll do more than dream yeah!
I'm gonna fly
Gonna crash right through the sky
Gonna touch the sun
(Touch the sun)
Show everyone
(Show everyone)
That it's
All or nothing
All or no...
All for one and one for all.
