“So long as man remains free he strives for nothing so incessantly and so painfully as to find some one to worship.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“"So then he started working especially hard, with a fiery vigour that raised him from a junior salesman to a travelling representative almost overnight, bringing with it the chance to earn money in quite different ways."”
Metamorphosis and Other Stories • Franz Kafka“Govinda said: “Still, oh Siddhartha, you love a bit to mock people, as it seems to me. I believe in you and know that you haven’t followed a teacher. But haven’t you found something by yourself, though you’ve found no teachings, you still found certain thoughts, certain insights, which are your own and which help you to live? If you would like to tell me some of these, you would delight my heart.” Quoth Siddhartha: “I’ve had thoughts, yes, and insight, again and again. Sometimes, for an hour or for an entire day, I have felt knowledge in me, as one would feel life in one’s heart. There have been many thoughts, but it would be hard for me to convey them to you. Look, my dear Govinda, this is one of my thoughts, which I have found: wisdom cannot be passed on. Wisdom which a wise man tries to pass on to someone always sounds like foolishness.””
Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse“The Law of Raspberry Jam: the wider any culture is spread, the thinner it gets.”
The Culture Consumers • Alvin Toffler“The worst enemy you can meet will always be yourself; you lie in wait for yourself in caverns and forests.”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche
