“In this initial illimitableness of possibilities that characterizes one who has no nature there stands out only one fixed, pre-established, and given line by which he may chart his course, only one limit: the past.”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset“Admiration for a quality or an art can be so strong that it deters us from striving to possess it.”
Human, All Too Human • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule.”
The Return of the King • J.R.R Tolkien“Our species is the only creative species, and it has only one creative instrument, the individual mind and spirit of a man. Nothing was ever created by two men. There are no good collaborations, whether in art, in music, in poetry, in mathematics, in philosophy. Once the miracle of creation has taken place, the group can build and extend it, but the group never invents anything. The preciousness lies in the lonely mind of a man.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck“You will do the greatest service to the state, if you shall raise not the roofs of the houses, but the souls of the citizens.”
Fragment • Epictetus
