“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“Long-protracted suffering is apt to exhaust not only the invalid, but the compassion of others; violent emotions cannot be prolonged endlessly.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig“In general, one must have value oneself in order freely and willingly to acknowledge value in another. This is the basis for the requirement that modesty accompany all merits, as well as the disproportionately loud praise for this virtue which alone, among all its sisters, is always added to the praise of anyone distinguished in some way by the person who dares to praise him, so as to conciliate the worthless and silence their wrath. For what is modesty if not false humility which someone with merits and advantages in a world teeming with perfidious envy uses to beg the pardon of those who have none? Someone who does not lay claim to merit because he in fact has none is being honest, not modest.”
The World As Will and Representation • Arthur Schopenhauer“To know your Enemy, you must become your Enemy.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu“But every acquisition that is disproportionate to the labor spent on it is dishonest.”
Anna Karenina • Leo Tolstoy
