“Strange that creatures without backbones have the hardest shells.”
Sand and Foam • Kahlil Gibran“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““[…] she was feeling something new here. Or something old that she had long buried. [It] reminded her that she was, first and foremost, a human living on a planet. Almost everything she had done in her life […] – almost everything she had bought and worked for and consumed – had taken her further away from understanding that she and all humans were really just one of nine million species.””
Midnight Library • Matt Haig“Men reject their prophets and slay them, but they love their martyrs and honor those they have slain.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“For my part, I consider that it will be found much better by all Parties to leave the past to history, especially as I propose to write that history.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill
