The mind of man is capable of anything - because everything is in it, all the past as well as all the future.
They talk of a man betraying his country, his friends, his sweetheart. There must be a moral bond first. All a man can betray is his conscience.
It is not the clear-sighted who lead the world. Great achievements are accomplished in a blessed, warm mental fog.
All from Jozef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski, 1857-1924, well-known for the books published under the name 'Joseph Conrad.'
