Reflex knowledge. Just like the mirror reflects itself through the reflected object, so Man knows himself through the object known.

Heroic furore. The six senses without reason are “non-sense”, reason without them a castle in the air.

Beyond. Often we attribute to the words of a speaker meanings that go ‘beyond’ the significance given them by the speaker himself.

Involution. On the circumference of a circle: he who believes he is going forward is going backward instead.

Decadence. Whatever survives its death becomes a rotting receptacle of flies and disease.

Sentimental interpretations. Quite often we consider “altruism” what could very well be the effect of perfect egotism.
