Quotes 7/29, Schopenhauer, Lotte Lenya

"What I respect is truth, therefore I can't respect what opposes truth. Just as the jurist's motto is: fiat justitia et pereat mundus, [Let justice be done though the world perish] so my motto is: vigeat veritas et pereat mundus, [Let truth prosper though the world perish] Every profession ought to have an analogous device"- Schopenhauer



"And at noon there will fall a hush upon the harbor
And they'll ask: Who's to die?
And then you'll hear me order firmly: All!
when the heads fall I'll cry: Hoppla!

And the ship with eight sails
And with fifty cannons
Will sail off with me"- Lotte Lenya
