“Windmill or no windmill, life would go on as it had always gone on - that is, badly.”
Animal Farm • George Orwell“The measure of a person's disposition is this: ... how great is the distance between his understanding and his actions. Basically we all understand the highest. A child, the simplest person, and the wisest all understand the highest. ... But what makes the difference is whether we understand it at a distance—so that we do not act accordingly, or close at hand—so that we act accordingly and "cannot do otherwise."”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard“"To see what is right, and not to do it, is want of courage or of principle."”
The Analects of Confucius • Confucius““Siddhartha learned a great deal from the Samanas; he learned many ways of losing the Self. He traveled along the path of self-denial through pain, through voluntary suffering and conquering of pain, through hunger, thirst and fatigue. He traveled the way of self-denial through meditation, through the emptying of the mind through all images. Along these and other paths did he learn to travel. He lost his Self a thousand times and for days on end he dwelt in non-being. But although the paths took him away from Self, in the end they always led back to it.””
Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse“Parenthood remains the greatest single preserve of the amateur.”
Future Shock • Alvin Toffler
