““The stronger your self-understanding is, the greater your probability of adapting to the people around you.””
Surrounded by Idiots • Thomas Erikson“Independence is for the very few; it is a privilege of the strong. And whoever attempts it even with the best right but without inner constraint proves that he is probably not only strong, but also daring to the point of recklessness. He enters into a labyrinth, he multiplies a thousandfold dangers which life brings with it in any case, not the least of which is that no one can see how and where he loses his way, becomes lonely, and is torn piecemeal by some minotaur of conscience. Supposing one like that comes to grief, this happens so far from the comprehension of men that they neither feel it nor sympathize. And he cannot go back any longer.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“For of all gainful professions, nothing is better, nothing more pleasing, nothing more delightful, nothing better becomes a well-bred man than agriculture.”
On Duties • Marcus Tullius Cicero“Beauty is a terrible and awful thing! It is terrible because it has not been fathomed, for God sets us nothing but riddles. Here the boundaries meet and all contradictions exist side by side.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“A few hours' mountain climbing make of a rogue and a saint two fairly equal creatures.”
Human, All Too Human • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
