““I am dirty, Milena, endlessly dirty, that is why I make such a fuss about cleanliness. None sing as purely as those in deepest hell; it is their singing we take for the singing of angels.” (26 August 1920)”
Letters To Milena • Franz Kafka““Happiness, like unhappiness, is a proactive choice.””
The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People • Stephen R. Covey“Too often the strong, silent man is silent only because he does not know what to say, and is reputed strong only because he has remained silent.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“In banquets remember that you entertain two guests, body and soul: and whatever you shall have given to the body you soon eject: but what you shall have given to the soul, you keep always.”
Fragment • Epictetus“Real art, like the wife of an affectionate husband, needs no ornaments. But counterfeit art, like a prostitute, must always be decked out. The cause of production of real art is the artist's inner need to express a feeling that has accumulated, just as for a mother the cause of sexual conception is love. The cause of counterfeit art, as of prostitution, is gain. The consequence of true art is the introduction of a new feeling into the intercourse of life, as the consequence of a wife's love is the birth of a new man into life. The consequences of counterfeit art are the perversion of man, pleasure which never satisfies, and the weakening of man's spiritual strength.”
What is art? • Leo Tolstoy
