“But it is the way of youth that each fresh piece of knowledge of life should go to its head, and that once uplifted by an emotion it can never have enough of it.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig“To learn to see -- to accustom the eye to calmness, to patience, and to allow things to come up to it; to defer judgment, and to acquire the habit of approaching and grasping an individual case from all sides. This is the first preparatory schooling of intellectuality. One must not respond immediately to a stimulus; one must acquire a command of the obstructing and isolating instincts.”
Twilight of the Idols • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“Primitive superstition lies just below the surface of even the most tough-minded individuals, and it is precisely those who most fight against it who are the first to succumb to its suggestive effects.”
Synchronicity: An Acausal Connecting Principle • Carl Gustav Jung“Great Jove angry is no longer Jove.”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“A great step towards independence is a good-humored stomach.”
Letters from a Stoic • Lucius Annaeus Seneca
