“„One thing, however, did become clear to him [Goldmund] – why so many perfect works of art did not please him at all, why they were almost hateful and boring to him, in spite of a certain undeniable beauty. Workshops, churches, and palaces were full of these fatal works of art; he had even helped with a few himself. They were deeply disappointing because they aroused the desire for the highest and did not fulfill it. They lacked the most essential thing – mystery. That was what dreams and truly great works of art had in common: mystery.“”
Narcissus and Goldmund • Hermann Hesse“Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering.”
By The River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept • Paulo Coelho““The key to success is action.””
Eat That Frog! • Brian Tracy“The most important thing in life is to stop saying 'I wish' and start saying 'I will.'”
David Copperfield • Charles Dickens“I have never said that human society ought to be aristocratic, but a great deal more than that. What I have said, and still believe with ever-increasing conviction, is that human society is always, whether it will or no, aristocratic by its very essence, to the extreme that it is a society in the measure that it is aristocratic, and ceases to be such when it ceases to be aristocratic. Of course I am speaking now of society and not of the State.”
the Revolt of the Masses • Jose Ortega y Gasset
