“That books do not take the place of experience, and that learning is no substitute for genius, are two kindred phenomena; their common ground is that the abstract can never take the place of the perceptive.”
The World As Will and Representation • Arthur Schopenhauer““It’s always difficult to be born. As you know, the bird must make an effort to break out of the egg. Think back and ask: Was the path really that difficult? Merely difficult? Wasn’t it also beautiful? Could you have thought of a more beautiful or easier one?””
Demian • Hermann Hesse“Everything in life that deviates from the straight and, so to speak, normal line, makes people first curious and then indignant.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig“Someone who's on top of the world isn't much of an observer: happy people are poor psychologists. But someone who's troubled about something is on the alert. The perceived threat sharpens his senses - he takes in more than he usually does.”
The Post Office Girl • Stefan Zweig“You may doubt I found comfort in England, But, there, 'tis a refuge from dangers! Where a Cromwell dictated to Milton, Republicans ne'er can be strangers!”
The Refugee's Haven • VICTOR HUGO
