“Married people pledge love for each other throughout eternity. Well, now, that is easy enough but does not mean very much, for if one is finished with time one is probably finished with eternity. If, instead of saying "throughout eternity," the couple would say, "until Easter, until next May Day," then what they say would make some sense, for then they would be saying something and also something they perhaps could carry out.”
Either/Or • Soren Kierkegaard“Though seemingly remote from human sexuality, shorebird sexuality is instructive because it illustrates the main message of this book: a species’ sexuality is molded by other aspects of the species’ biology. It’s easier for us to acknowledge this conclusion about shorebirds, to which we don’t apply moral standards, than about ourselves.”
Why Is Sex Fun?: The Evolution of Human Sexuality • Jared Diamond“There is no man so good, who, were he to submit all his thoughts and actions to the laws, would not deserve hanging ten times in his life. ”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne“I looked at that hand and felt how rough and deeply hostile it was to me, how it was reaching out for my life and my peace of mind”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“Now just as the historical gives occasion for the contemporary to become a disciple, but only it must be noted through receiving the condition from the God himself, since otherwise we speak Socratically, so the testimony of contemporaries gives occasion for each successor to become a disciple, but only it must be noted through receiving the condition from the God himself.”
Philosophical Fragments • Soren Kierkegaard
