“In times of exceptional stress, nature will often give people's behavior so tragical a complexion that neither a picture nor a verbal description is competent to represent its titanic energy.”
Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman • Stefan Zweig“It is a great folly to lose the inner man in order to gain the outer, that is, to give up the whole or the greater part of one's quiet, leisure, and independence for splendour, rank, pomp, titles and honours.”
Parerga and Paralipomena • Arthur Schopenhauer“God is the middle term. Only by loving God above all else can one love the neighbor. Love for the neighbor is therefore the eternal equality in loving. Equality is simply not to make distinctions and eternal equality is unconditionally not to make the slightest distinction, unqualifiedly not to make the slightest distinction. The essential Christian is itself too weighty, in its movements too earnest to scurry about, dancing, in the frivolity of such facile talk about the higher, highest, and the supremely highest.”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard“On the fates of past societies facing problems of sustainability.”
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond““Let the confusion begin, no one can stop it, no one can escape, and some look for ways to take advantage of it.””
Samarkand • Amin Maalouf
