Aphorisms are aphrodisiacs for the mind and the spirit. Some of the aphorisms collected here over many years are uplifting, some are enlightening, some are as paradoxical as our everyday life. All of them are based on our own experiences, many of them refer to recent events, so they are quite suitable for the daily exchange with reason and unreason.
