“We have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it.”
Candida • George Bernard Shaw“The Devil is not the Prince of Matter; the Devil is the arrogance of the spirit, faith without smile, truth that is never seized by doubt. The Devil is grim because he knows where he is going, and, in moving, he always returns whence he came.”
The Name of The Rose • Umberto Eco“Independence is for the very few; it is a privilege of the strong. And whoever attempts it even with the best right but without inner constraint proves that he is probably not only strong, but also daring to the point of recklessness. He enters into a labyrinth, he multiplies a thousandfold dangers which life brings with it in any case, not the least of which is that no one can see how and where he loses his way, becomes lonely, and is torn piecemeal by some minotaur of conscience. Supposing one like that comes to grief, this happens so far from the comprehension of men that they neither feel it nor sympathize. And he cannot go back any longer.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“If a man has his eyes bound, you can encourage him as much as you like to stare through the bandage, but he'll never see anything”
The Castle • Franz Kafka“He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu
