“I wear the chain I forged in life....I made it link by link, and yard by yard; I girded it on of my own free will, and of my own free will I wore it.”
A Christmas Carol • Charles Dickens““He had cast out of heaven his dim star; it had fallen, and its track was lost in the darkness of night. It would never return to the sky again, because life was given only once and never came a second time. If he could have turned back the days and years of the past, he would have replaced the falsity with truth, the idleness with work, the boredom with happiness; he would have given back purity to those whom he had robbed of it. He would have found God and goodness, but that was as impossible as to put back the fallen star into the sky, and because it was impossible he was in despair.””
The Duel • Anton Chekhov“ “Many call this process 'the destruction of nature.' But it's not really destruction, it's change. Nature cannot be destroyed.””
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind • Yuval Noah Harari“To conceal anything from those to whom I am attached, is not in my nature. I can never close my lips where I have opened my heart.”
Master Humphrey's Clock • Charles Dickens“By the sensuous, the flesh, Christianity understands selfishness. A conflict between spirit and flesh is inconceivable unless there is a rebellious spirit on the side of flesh, with which the spirit then contends; similarly, a conflict between spirit and a stone or between spirit and a tree is inconceivable.”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard
