“The basis of optimism is sheer terror.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde“„All existence seemed to be based on duality, on contrast. Either one was a man or one was a woman, either a wanderer or sedentary burgher, either a thinking person or a feeling person-no one could breathe in at the same time as he breathed out, be a man as well as a woman, experience freedom as well as order, combine instinct and mind. One always had to pay for one with the loss of the other, and one thing was always just as important and desirable as the other.“”
Narcissus and Goldmund • Hermann Hesse“Because diseases have been the biggest killers of people, they have also been decisive shapers of history. Until World War II, more victims of war died of war-borne microbes than of battle wounds.”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“But depth is where the gold is buried. And you have to stay committed to something and go deep to dig it up.”
The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*Ck • Mark Manson““Even in him, even in your great teacher, I prefer the thing to the words, his actions and his life are more important than his speech, the gestures of his hand more important than his opinions.””
Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse
