“When we hate a person, what we hate in his image is something inside ourselves. Whatever isn’t inside us can’t excite us.””
Demian • Hermann Hesse“Reputation is an idle and most false imposition; oft got without merit and lost without deserving.”
Othello • William Shakespeare“The art of not reading is a very important one. It consists in not taking an interest in whatever may be engaging the attention of the general public at any particular time. When some political or ecclesiastical pamphlet, or novel, or poem is making a great commotion, you should remember that he who writes for fools always finds a large public. A precondition for reading good books is not reading bad ones: for life is short.””
Essays and Aphorisms • Arthur Schopenhauer“Any decent society must generate a feeling of community. Community offsets loneliness. It gives people a vitally necessary sense of belonging. Yet today the institutions on which community depends are crumbling in all the techno-societies. The result is a spreading plague of loneliness.”
The Third Wave • Alvin Toffler“But each person is not only himself, he is also the unique, very special point, important and noteworthy in every instance, where the phenomena of the world meet, once only and never again in the same way.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse
