““I will begin with what in my opinion is your lack of restraint."”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“At the approach of danger there are always two voices that speak with equal force in the heart of man: one very reasonably tells the man to consider the nature of the danger and the means of avoiding it; the other even more reasonable says that it is too painful and harassing to think of the danger, since it is not a man's power to provide for everything and escape from the general march of events; and that it is therefore better to turn aside from the painful subject till it has come, and to think of what is pleasant. In solitude a man generally yields to the first voice; in society to the second.”
War and Peace • Leo Tolstoy“One way to explain the complexity and unpredictability of historical systems, despite their ultimate determinacy, is to note that long chains of causation may separate final effects from ultimate causes lying outside the domain of that field of science.”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“My wisdom has long accumulated like a cloud, it becomes stiller and darker. So does all wisdom which shall one day bear lightnings.”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche“Too chaste a youth leads to a dissolute old age.”
Autumn Leaves • Andre Gide
