“Love that only which happens to thee and is spun with the thread of thy destiny. For what is more suitable?”
Book VII • Marcus Aurelius“First we feel. Then we fall.”
Finnegan's Wake • James Joyce“Words are acoustical signs for concepts; concepts, however, are more or less definite image signs for often recurring and associated sensations, for groups of sensations. To understand one another, it is not enough that one use the same words; one also has to use the same words for the same species of inner experiences; in the end one has to have one's experiences in common.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“Hell is the centre of evils and, as you know, things are more intense at their centres than at their remotest points.”
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man • James Joyce“And are not the temperate exactly in the same case? They are temperate because they are intemperate—which may seem to be a contradiction, but is nevertheless the sort of thing which happens with this foolish temperance. For there are pleasures which they must have, and are afraid of losing; and therefore they abstain from one class of pleasures because they are overcome by another: and whereas intemperance is defined as "being under the domination of pleasure," they overcome only because they are overcome by pleasure.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato
