“She lacks the indefinable charm of weakness. It is the feet of clay that make the gold of the image precious.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde“There are people who exist in this world not like entities but like the speckles or spots on something.”
Dead Souls • Nikolai Gogol“Behind your thoughts and feelings, my brother, there is a mighty lord, an unknown sage--his name is self.”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche“Everyone had only one true vocation: to find himself. Let him wind up as a poet or a madman, as a prophet or a criminal—that wasn’t his business; in the long run, it was irrelevant. His business was to discover his own destiny, not just any destiny, and to live it totally and undividedly. Anything else was just a half-measure, an attempt to run away, an escape back to the ideal of the masses, an adaptation, fear of one’s own nature. Fearsome and sacred, the new image rose up before me; I had sensed it a hundred times, perhaps I had already enunciated it, but now I was experiencing it for the first time. I was a gamble of Nature, a throw of the dice into an uncertain realm, leading perhaps to something new, perhaps to nothing; and to let this throw from the primordial depths take effect, to feel its will inside myself and adopt it completely as my own will: that alone was my vocation. That alone!”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“Healthy citizens are the greatest asset any country can have.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill
