“It has become customary to say that a man needs only six feet of land. But a corpse needs six feet, not a person.”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“The life which is implicated with fortune (depends on fortune) is like a winter torrent: for it is turbulent, and full of mud, and difficult to cross, and tyrannical, and noisy, and of short duration.”
Fragment • Epictetus“If there were a distinguished person whose life, by birth and conditions, belonged especially to the same earthly dissimilarity, a distinguished person who would not assent to this divisive conspiracy against the universally human, that is, against the neighbor, if he did not have the heart to do this, if, clearly perceiving the consequences, he still trusted in God for the strength to bear these consequences while he lacked the strength to harden his heart ... the distinguished corruption would accuse him of being a traitor and self-lover—because he wanted to love the neighbor.”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard“But that which is useful is the better.”
Book III • Marcus Aurelius“Wherever there is a man who exercises authority, there is a man who resists authority.”
De Profundis • Oscar Wilde
