“My story isn’t pleasant, it’s not sweet and harmonious like the invented stories; it tastes of folly and bewilderment, of madness and dream, like the life of all people who no longer want to lie to themselves.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“The leprosy of unreality disfigured every human creature in attendance.”
A Tale of Two Cities • Charles Dickens“Man is a synthesis of psyche and body, but he is also a synthesis of the temporal and the eternal. In the former, the two factors are psyche and body, and spirit is the third, yet in such a way that one can speak of a synthesis only when the spirit is posited. The latter synthesis has only two factors, the temporal and the eternal. Where is the third factor? And if there is no third factor, there really is no synthesis, for a synthesis that is a contradiction cannot be completed as a synthesis without a third factor, because the fact that the synthesis is a contradiction asserts that it is not. What, then, is the temporal?”
The Concept of Anxiety • Soren Kierkegaard“When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.”
The Alchemist • Paulo Coelho““I have spent all my life resisting the desire to end it.””
Letters To Milena • Franz Kafka
