“A gentleman, even if he loses everything he owns, must show no emotion. Money must be so far beneath a gentleman that it is hardly worth troubling about.”
The Gambler • Fyodor Dostoevski“To ordinary human beings, finally--the vast majority who exist for service and the general advantage, and who may exist only for that--religion gives in inestimable contentment with their situation and type, manifold peace of heart, an ennobling of obedience, one further happiness and sorrow with their peers and something transfiguring and beautifying, something of a justification for the whole everyday character, the whole lowliness, the whole half-brutish poverty of their souls. Religion and religious significance spread the splendor of the sun over such ever-toiling human beings and make their own sight tolerable to them.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“One does not love a place the less for having suffered in it, unless it has been all suffering, nothing but suffering.”
Persuasion • Jane Austen“Art is the uniting of the subjective with the objective, of nature with reason, of the unconscious with the conscious, and therefore art is the highest means of knowledge.”
What is art? • Leo Tolstoy““Just because you’re right, I don’t have to be wrong.””
Surrounded by Idiots • Thomas Erikson
