“That beauty which is meant by art is no mere accident of human life which people can take or leave, but a positive necessity of life if we are to live as nature meant us to, that is to say unless we are content to be less than men.”
Art and the Handicraftsman • Oscar Wilde“To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love.”
Pride and Prejudice • Jane Austen“In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.”
Archetypes of the Collective Unconscious • Carl Gustav Jung“To experience conflicts knowingly, though it may be distressing, can be an invaluable asset. The more we face our own conflicts and seek out our own solutions, the more inner freedom and strength we will gain. Only when we are willing to bear the brunt can we approximate the ideal of being the captain of our ship. Spurious tranquillity rooted in inner dullness is anything but enviable. It is bound to make us weak and an easy prey to any kind of influence.”
Our Inner Conflicts: A Constructive Theory of Neurosis • Karen Horney“In his conversations with Anna Sergeyevna he expressed more strongly than ever his calm indifference to any kind of "romanticism"; but when he was alone he indignantly recognized romanticism in himself. ”
Fathers and Sons • Ivan Turgenev
