“"To see what is right, and not to do it, is want of courage or of principle."”
The Analects of Confucius • Confucius“Every living creature is happy when he fulfills his destiny, that is, when he realizes himself, when he is being that which in truth he is. For this reason, Schlegel, inverting the relationship between pleasure and destiny, said, “We have a genius for what we like.” Genius, man’s superlative gift for doing something, always carries a look of supreme pleasure.”
What is Philosophy? • Jose Ortega y Gasset“Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person.”
Mark Twain's Notebook • Mark Twain“The more we study Art, the less we care for Nature.”
Intentions • Oscar Wilde“Our species is the only creative species, and it has only one creative instrument, the individual mind and spirit of a man. Nothing was ever created by two men. There are no good collaborations, whether in art, in music, in poetry, in mathematics, in philosophy. Once the miracle of creation has taken place, the group can build and extend it, but the group never invents anything. The preciousness lies in the lonely mind of a man.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck
