“Whatever happens at all happens as it should; you will find this true, if you watch narrowly.”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“Nothing that grieves us can be called little: by the eternal laws of proportion a child's loss of a doll and a king's loss of a crown are events of the same size.”
Which Was the Dream • Mark Twain“Be it well understood, I am free by compulsion, whether I wish to be or not. Freedom is not an activity pursued by an entity that, apart from and previous to such pursuit, is already possessed of a fixed being. To be free means to be lacking in constitutive identity, not to have subscribed to a determined being, to be able to be other than what one was, to be unable to install oneself once and for all in any given being. The only attribute of the fixed, stable being in the free being is this constitutive instability.”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset““And I, too, felt ready to start life all over again. It was as if that great rush of anger had washed me clean, emptied me of hope, and, gazing up at the dark sky spangled with its signs and stars, for the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe.””
Stranger • Albert Camus““The stronger your self-understanding is, the greater your probability of adapting to the people around you.””
Surrounded by Idiots • Thomas Erikson
