Che sempre l'omo in cui pensier rampolla sovra pensier, da sé dilunga il segno, perché la foga l'un de l'altro insolla.

Context: The horse has not stopped bleeding. Its blood falls on me drop by drop with the regularity of a clock, — as though all the blood that is filtering through the strata of the field and all the punishment of the wounded came to a head in him and through him. Ah, it seems that truth goes farther in all directions than one thought! We bend over the wrong that animals suffer, for them we wholly understand.
Men, men! Everywhere the plain has a mangled outline. Below that horizon, sometimes blue-black and sometimes red-black, the plain is monumental!
“With his head in his hands,
God thought and thought,
Till he thought: I'll make me a man!”

“A man can only rise, conquer, and achieve by lifting up his thoughts.”
“A set is a Many that allows itself to be thought of as a One.”
As quoted in Infinity and the Mind (1995) by Rudy Rucker. ~ ISBN 0691001723
“For the sake of goodness and love, man shall let death have no sovereignty over his thoughts.”
Source: The Magic Mountain (1924), Ch. 6
Context: I will keep faith with death in my heart, yet will remember that faith with death and the dead is only wickedness and dark voluptuousness and enmity against humankind, if it is given power over our thought and contemplation. For the sake of goodness and love, man shall let death have no sovereignty over his thoughts. And with that, I wake up.
