“A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.”
The Critic as Artist • Oscar Wilde“Idleness is the beginning of all psychology. What? Could it be that psychology is -- a vice?”
Twilight of the Idols • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“When a child first catches adults out -- when it first walks into his grave little head that adults do not always have divine intelligence, that their judgments are not always wise, their thinking true, their sentences just -- his world falls into panic desolation. The gods are fallen and all safety gone. And there is one sure thing about the fall of gods: they do not fall a little; they crash and shatter or sink deeply into green muck. It is a tedious job to build them up again; they never quite shine. And the child's world is never quite whole again. It is an aching kind of growing.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck“"I did that," says my memory. "I could not have done that," says my pride, and remains inexorable. Eventually the memory yields.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“Man’s being is made of such strange stuff as to be partly akin to nature and partly not, at once natural and extranatural, a kind of ontological centaur, half immersed in nature, half transcending it.”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset
