Muhammad 's Key Ideas from Human, All Too Human

"Doing is everything."

"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."

"The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die. As well the minds which are prevented from changing their opinions; they cease to be mind."

"There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness."

 "We are franker towards others than towards ourselves."

"A joke is an epigram on the death of a feeling."
