“No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man”
Fragments • Heraclitus“We are masters of the unsaid words, but slaves of those we let slip out.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“Where love rules, there is no will to power, and where power predominates, love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.”
On the Psychology of the Unconsciousness • Carl Gustav Jung“Those who talk most about the blessings of marriage and the constancy of its vows are the very people who declare that if the chain were broken and the prisoners left free to choose, the whole social fabric would fly asunder. You cannot have the argument both ways. If the prisoner is happy, why lock him in? If he is not, why pretend that he is?”
Man and Superman • George Bernard Shaw“„One thing, however, did become clear to him [Goldmund] – why so many perfect works of art did not please him at all, why they were almost hateful and boring to him, in spite of a certain undeniable beauty. Workshops, churches, and palaces were full of these fatal works of art; he had even helped with a few himself. They were deeply disappointing because they aroused the desire for the highest and did not fulfill it. They lacked the most essential thing – mystery. That was what dreams and truly great works of art had in common: mystery.“”
Narcissus and Goldmund • Hermann Hesse
