“She lacks the indefinable charm of weakness. It is the feet of clay that make the gold of the image precious.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde“In two or three hundred years life on earth will be unimaginably beautiful, astounding. Man needs such a life and if it hasn’t yet appeared, he should begin to anticipate it, wait for it, dream about it, prepare for it. To achieve this, he has to see and know more than did his grandfather and father.”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“Freedom's possibility is not the ability to choose the good or the evil. The possibility is to be able. In a logical system, it is convenient to say that possibility passes over into actuality. However, in actuality it is not so convenient, and an intermediate term is required. The intermediate term is anxiety, but it no more explains the qualitative leap than it can justify it ethically. Anxiety is neither a category of necessity nor a category of freedom; it is entangled freedom, where freedom is not free in itself but entangled, not by necessity, but in itself.”
The Concept of Anxiety • Soren Kierkegaard“ "Fine words and an insinuating appearance are seldom associated with true virtue."”
The Analects of Confucius • Confucius“There is no love sincerer than the love of food.”
Man and Superman • George Bernard Shaw
