I had to google that - and one option was Heideger!Reminded me of:
"It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion."
...for some reason...
or even...
“As a human being, I was born on the brink of personal destruction, and I have spent my life dancing along the edge of that cliff.”
Wasn't he a boozy bigger?
As an aside - we are both old enough to remember life before the internet. Who used to control our thoughts / 'wisdom' before Google?
It was difficult to control the world though books!
