[Markdown format] This quote emphasizes the ongoing effort to reach a more authentic and genuine understanding by removing superficial or commonplace ideas. It suggests that true insight often requires peeling back preconceptions, social conditioning, and habitual responses that obscure genuine perception or emotion. Stripping away these layers is a quest for clarity, sincerity, and self-awareness, which can lead to a deeper connection with oneself and others.

My desire is that you go first, in every occasion of earthly life.Only once will I go before you,And that will be at my last moment — Jean Sasson

What do people fear most about death? I asked the reb.Fear? he thought for a moment. 'Well, for one thing, what happens next? Where do we go? Is it what we imagined?That's big.Yes. But there's something else.What else — Mitch Albom

If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.

It is not humanly possible to gather immediately from it what the logic of language is. Language disguises thought.

The cause of my profound sense of incompatibility with others is, I believe, that most people think with their feelings, whereas I feel with my thoughts. For the ordinary man, to feel is to live, and to think is to know how to live. For me, to think is to live, and to feel is merely food for thought. — Fernando Pessoa The Book of...
