“To the rational being only the irrational is unendurable, but the rational is endurable.”
Discourses • Epictetus“To learn to see -- to accustom the eye to calmness, to patience, and to allow things to come up to it; to defer judgment, and to acquire the habit of approaching and grasping an individual case from all sides. This is the first preparatory schooling of intellectuality. One must not respond immediately to a stimulus; one must acquire a command of the obstructing and isolating instincts.”
Twilight of the Idols • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“What they call their loyalty, and their fidelity, I call either the lethargy of custom or their lack of imagination.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde“I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.”
The Happy Prince and Other Stories • Oscar Wilde“Only a numskull is pleased at being a so-called 'success' with women, only a dunderhead is puffed up by it. A real man is much more likely to be dismayed at realizing that a woman has lost her heart to him when he can't reciprocate her feelings.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig
