“If liberty means anything at all it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”
Animal Farm • George Orwell“And how does the God's existence emerge from the proof? Does it follow straightway, without any breach of continuity? Or have we not here an analogy to the behavior of the little Cartesian dolls? As soon as I let go of the doll it stands on its head. As soon as I let it go – I must therefore let it go. So also with the proof. As long as I keep my hold on the proof, i.e., continue to demonstrate, the existence does not come out, if for no other reason than that I am engaged in proving it; but when I let the proof go, the existence is there. But this act of letting go is surely also something; it is indeed a contribution of mine. Must not this also be taken into the account, this little moment, brief as it may be – it need not be long, for it is a leap. However brief this moment, if only an instantaneous now, this "now" must be included in the reckoning.”
Philosophical Fragments • Soren Kierkegaard“Spiritual wants and instincts are as various in the human family as are physical appetites, complexions, and features, and a man is only at his best, morally, when he is equipped with the religious garment whose color and shape and size most nicely accomodate themselves to the spiritual complexion, angularities, and stature of the individual who wears it.”
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court • Mark Twain“To be caught happy in a world of misery was for an honest man the most despicable of crimes.”
To the Lighthouse • Virginia Woolf“There is no good reason why we should not develop and change until the last day we live.”
The Therapeutic Process: Essays and Lectures • Karen Horney
