“The problem’s not that the truth is harsh but that
liberation from ignorance is as painful as being born.
liberation from ignorance is as painful as being born.
Run after truth until you’re breathless.
Accept the pain involved in re-creating yourself afresh.
These ideas will take a life to comprehend,
a hard one interspersed with drunken moments.”
-Naguib Mahfouz {Palace of Desire}
