“It was the first rift in my father’s sanctity, it was the first nick in the pillars on which my childish life had rested, and which every human being must destroy before he can become himself. It is of these experiences, invisible to everyone, that the inner, essential line of our destiny consists. That kind of rift and nick closes over again, it is healed and forgotten, but in the most secret chamber of the mind it continues to live and bleed.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“Time is, time was, but time shall be no more.”
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man • James Joyce“The secret source of humor itself is not joy but sorrow. There is no humor in heaven.”
Following the Equator • Mark Twain“Give of what you have to strangers and to those who have need: for he who gives not to him who wants, will not receive himself when he wants.”
Fragment • Epictetus“If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of the potential, for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible. Pleasure disappoints, possibility never. And what wine is so sparkling, what so fragrant, what so intoxicating, as possibility!”
Either/Or • Soren Kierkegaard
