“It was not only that I could not become spiteful, I did not know how to become anything; neither spiteful nor kind, neither a rascal nor an honest man, neither a hero nor an insect. Now, I am living out my life in my corner, taunting myself with the spiteful and useless consolation that an intelligent man cannot become anything seriously, and it is only the fool who becomes anything.”
Notes from Underground • Fyodor Dostoevski“There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu“„All existence seemed to be based on duality, on contrast. Either one was a man or one was a woman, either a wanderer or sedentary burgher, either a thinking person or a feeling person-no one could breathe in at the same time as he breathed out, be a man as well as a woman, experience freedom as well as order, combine instinct and mind. One always had to pay for one with the loss of the other, and one thing was always just as important and desirable as the other.“”
Narcissus and Goldmund • Hermann Hesse“The formula 'two plus two equals five' is not without its attractions.”
Notes from Underground • Fyodor Dostoevski“Politeness is to human nature what warmth is to wax.”
Counsels and Maxims • Arthur Schopenhauer
