““The universe tended towards chaos and entropy. That was basic thermodynamics. Maybe it was basic existence too.””
Midnight Library • Matt Haig“The discovery of truth is prevented more effectively, not by the false appearance things present and which mislead into error, not directly by weakness of the reasoning powers, but by preconceived opinion, by prejudice.”
Counsels and Maxims • Arthur Schopenhauer“The nineteenth century, utilitarian throughout, set up a utilitarian interpretation of the phenomenon of life which has come down to us and may still be considered as the commonplace of everyday thinking. … An innate blindness seems to have closed the eyes of this epoch to all but those facts which show life as a phenomenon of utility”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset“When a man says he does not want to speak of something he usually means he can think of nothing else.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck“It was not only that I could not become spiteful, I did not know how to become anything; neither spiteful nor kind, neither a rascal nor an honest man, neither a hero nor an insect. Now, I am living out my life in my corner, taunting myself with the spiteful and useless consolation that an intelligent man cannot become anything seriously, and it is only the fool who becomes anything.”
Notes from Underground • Fyodor Dostoevski
