“The dream arises from a part of the mind unknown to us, but none the less important, and is concerned with the desires for the approaching day.”
Psychology of the Unconscious • Carl Gustav Jung“"Optimism," said Cacambo, "What is that?" "Alas!" replied Candide, "It is the obstinacy of maintaining that everything is best when it is worst!”
Candide • Voltaire“And how does the God's existence emerge from the proof? Does it follow straightway, without any breach of continuity? Or have we not here an analogy to the behavior of the little Cartesian dolls? As soon as I let go of the doll it stands on its head. As soon as I let it go – I must therefore let it go. So also with the proof. As long as I keep my hold on the proof, i.e., continue to demonstrate, the existence does not come out, if for no other reason than that I am engaged in proving it; but when I let the proof go, the existence is there. But this act of letting go is surely also something; it is indeed a contribution of mine. Must not this also be taken into the account, this little moment, brief as it may be – it need not be long, for it is a leap. However brief this moment, if only an instantaneous now, this "now" must be included in the reckoning.”
Philosophical Fragments • Soren Kierkegaard“Golf is a game in which you try to put a small ball in a small hole with implements singularly unsuited to the purpose.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“The only way a woman can ever reform a man is by boring him so completely that he loses all possible interest in life.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde
