Elias Canetti

“Success is the one unpardonable sin against one's fellows.”

“Nothing is more terrible than activity without insight.”

“The most difficult thing is to know what one really knows.”

“The self-explorer, whether he wants to or not, becomes the explorer of everything else. He learns to see himself, but suddenly, provided he was honest, all the rest appears, and it is as rich as he was, and, as a final crowning, richer.”
