“Weariness, which seeks to get to the ultimate with one leap, with one death-leap; a poor ignorant weariness, unwilling even to will any longer: that created all gods and afterworlds.”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear -- not absence of fear.”
The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson • Mark Twain““Slower, he walked along in his thoughts and asked himself: “But what is this, what you have sought to learn from teachings and from teachers, and what they, who have taught you much, were still unable to teach you?” And he found: “It was the self, the purpose and essence of which I sought to learn. It was the self, I wanted to free myself from, which I sought to overcome. But I was not able to overcome it, could only deceive it, could only flee from it, only hide from it. Truly, no thing in this world has kept my thoughts thus busy, as this my very own self, this mystery of me being alive, of me being one and being separated and isolated from all others, of me being Siddhartha! And there is no thing in this world I know less about than about me, about Siddhartha!”″”
Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse““People who are to be comfortable are accustomed to lie on sofas, and dine off tables, and they should have sauces and sweets in the modern style.””
Republic • Plato“"Now Gregor's sister also had to help his mother with the cooking; although that was not so much bother as no-one ate very much."”
Metamorphosis and Other Stories • Franz Kafka
