“At the approach of danger there are always two voices that speak with equal force in the heart of man: one very reasonably tells the man to consider the nature of the danger and the means of avoiding it; the other even more reasonable says that it is too painful and harassing to think of the danger, since it is not a man's power to provide for everything and escape from the general march of events; and that it is therefore better to turn aside from the painful subject till it has come, and to think of what is pleasant. In solitude a man generally yields to the first voice; in society to the second.”
War and Peace • Leo Tolstoy“The English country gentleman galloping after a fox -- the unspeakable in full pursuit of the uneatable.”
A Woman of No Importance • Oscar Wilde“If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of the potential, for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible. Pleasure disappoints, possibility never. And what wine is so sparkling, what so fragrant, what so intoxicating, as possibility!”
Either/Or • Soren Kierkegaard“All office workers are afraid of being late for work.”
The Post Office Girl • Stefan Zweig“Look to the essence of a thing, whether it be a point of doctrine, of practice, or of interpretation.”
Book VIII • Marcus Aurelius
