“„All existence seemed to be based on duality, on contrast. Either one was a man or one was a woman, either a wanderer or sedentary burgher, either a thinking person or a feeling person-no one could breathe in at the same time as he breathed out, be a man as well as a woman, experience freedom as well as order, combine instinct and mind. One always had to pay for one with the loss of the other, and one thing was always just as important and desirable as the other.“”
Narcissus and Goldmund • Hermann Hesse“If a man aspires towards a righteous life, his first act of abstinence is from injury to animals.”
The First Step • Leo Tolstoy“An army is a strange composite masterpiece, which strength results from an enormous sum total of utter weaknesses. Thus only can we explain a war waged by humanity against humanity in spite of humanity.”
Les Misérables • VICTOR HUGO“It is never until one realizes that one means something to others that one feels there is any point or purpose in one's own existence.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig“Direct thy attention to what is said. Let thy understanding enter into the things that are doing and the things which do them.”
Book VII • Marcus Aurelius
