“Of this I am quite sure, that if we open a quarrel between the past and the present, we shall find that we have lost the future.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“The general function of dreams is to try to restore our psychological balance by producing dream material that re-establishes, in a subtle way, the total psychic equilibrium.”
Man and His Symbols • Carl Gustav Jung“On the occasion of every act ask thyself, How is this with respect to me? Shall I repent of it? A little time and I am dead, and all is gone.”
Book VIII • Marcus Aurelius“There is a kind of sleep that steals upon us sometimes , which, while it holds the body prisoner, does not free the mind from a sense of things about it, and enable it to ramble as it pleases. So far as an overpowering heaviness, a prostration of strength, and an utter inability to control our thoughts or power of motion can be called sleep, this is it; and yet we have a consciousness of all that is going on about us, and even if we dream, words which are really spoken, or sounds which really exist at the moment, accommodate themselves with surprising readiness to our visions, until reality and imagination become so strangely blended that it is afterwards almost a matter of impossibility to separate the two.”
Oliver Twist • Charles Dickens“In our monogamous part of the world, to marry means to halve one's rights and double one's duties.”
Parerga and Paralipomena • Arthur Schopenhauer
