“He who desires a lifetime of happiness with a beautiful woman desires to enjoy the taste of wine by keeping his mouth always full of it.”
Maxim for Revolutionists • George Bernard Shaw“The measure of a person's disposition is this: ... how great is the distance between his understanding and his actions. Basically we all understand the highest. A child, the simplest person, and the wisest all understand the highest. ... But what makes the difference is whether we understand it at a distance—so that we do not act accordingly, or close at hand—so that we act accordingly and "cannot do otherwise."”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard“The most decisive actions of our life -- I mean those that are most likely to decide the whole course of our future -- are, more often than not, unconsidered. Like a train into which one jumps without thinking, and without asking oneself where it is going.”
The Counterfeiters • Andre Gide“In hell there is no other punishment than to begin over and over again the tasks left unfinished in your lifetime.”
Autumn Leaves • Andre Gide“Short cuts make delays, but inns make longer ones”
The Fellowship of the Ring • J.R.R Tolkien
