"From early on I have suspected that the so
important-sounding task “Know thyself” is a ruse of a cabal of priests.
They are trying to seduce man from activity in the outside world, to
distract him with impossible demands; they seek to draw him into a false
inner contemplation. Man only knows himself insofar as he knows the
world–the world which he only comes to know in himself and himself only
in it."
— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
