“In each of us spirit has become form, in each of us the created being suffers, in each of us a redeemer is crucified.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“How much reverence has a noble man for his enemies!--and such reverence is a bridge to love.--For he desires his enemy for himself, as his mark of distinction; he can endure no other enemy than one in whom there is nothing to despise and very much to honor! In contrast to this, picture "the enemy" as the man of ressentiment conceives him--and here precisely is his deed, his creation: he has conceived "the evil enemy," "the Evil One," and this in fact is his basic concept, from which he then evolves, as an afterthought and pendant, a "good one"--himself!”
Genealogy of Morals • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“precious to us. And don't you tell me these fruits are worthless; the poorest dauber, un barbouilleur, the man who plays dance music for five farthings an evening, even they are of more use than you because they stand for civilization and not for.”
Fathers and Sons • Ivan Turgenev“ “The world is, of course, nothing but our conception of it.””
The Cherry Orchard • Anton Chekhov“Love between man and man is impossible because there must not be sexual intercourse and friendship between man and woman is impossible because there must be sexual intercourse.”
Dubliners • James Joyce
