“If you pretend to be good, the world takes you very seriously. If you pretend to be bad, it doesn't. Such is the astounding stupidity of optimism.”
Lady Windermere's Fan • Oscar Wilde“The fact is, that civilisation requires slaves. The Greeks were quite right there. Unless there are slaves to do the ugly, horrible, uninteresting work, culture and contemplation become almost impossible. Human slavery is wrong, insecure, and demoralizing. On mechanical slavery, on the slavery of the machine, the future of the world depends.”
The Soul of Man Under Socialism • Oscar Wilde“My hope in writing this book has been that enough people will choose to profit from that opportunity to make a difference.”
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond“ “Medicine is my lawful wife, and literature is my mistress."”
Uncle Vanya • Anton Chekhov“„When artists create pictures and thinkers search for laws and formulate thoughts, it is in order to salvage something from the great dance of death, to make something that lasts longer than we do.“”
Narcissus and Goldmund • Hermann Hesse
