The obstinacy of cleverness and reason is nothing to the obstinacy of folly and inanity.

The indestructible is one: it is each individual human being and, at the same time, it is common to all, hence the incomparably indivisible union that exists between human beings.

Incommensurables cannot be compared.

Impossibility is a dictionary word.

Some things in literature are inexplicable.

Unpredictability means what it means. I don't know how you define it. It is what it is.
