“God is the middle term. Only by loving God above all else can one love the neighbor. Love for the neighbor is therefore the eternal equality in loving. Equality is simply not to make distinctions and eternal equality is unconditionally not to make the slightest distinction, unqualifiedly not to make the slightest distinction. The essential Christian is itself too weighty, in its movements too earnest to scurry about, dancing, in the frivolity of such facile talk about the higher, highest, and the supremely highest.”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard“"Gregor converted his success at work straight into cash that he could lay on the table at home for the benefit of his astonished and delighted family."”
Metamorphosis and Other Stories • Franz Kafka“Religious values tend to be especially deeply held and hence frequent cause of disastrous behaviour. [...] The modern world provides us with abundant secular examples of admirable values to which we cling under conditions where those values no longer make sense [...] It appears to me that much of the rigid opposition to environmental concerns in the First World nowadays involves values acquired early in life and never again reexamined [...].”
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond“When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu“I try to catch every sentence, every word you and I say, and quickly lock all these sentences and words away in my literary storehouse because they might come in handy.”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov
