“Now just as the historical gives occasion for the contemporary to become a disciple, but only it must be noted through receiving the condition from the God himself, since otherwise we speak Socratically, so the testimony of contemporaries gives occasion for each successor to become a disciple, but only it must be noted through receiving the condition from the God himself.”
Philosophical Fragments • Soren Kierkegaard“How charming it is that there are words and sounds: are not words and sounds rainbows and illusive bridges between things eternally separated?”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche“The reason for the unreason with which you treat my reason , so weakens my reason that with reason I complain of your beauty.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“To tell the truth, I often felt uneasy when I thought of the excessive brittleness and fragility of the moon. The moon is generally repaired in Hamburg, and very imperfectly. It is done by a lame cooper, an obvious blockhead who has no idea how to do it. He took waxed thread and olive-oil—hence that pungent smell over all the earth which compels people to hold their noses. And this makes the moon so fragile that no men can live on it, but only noses. Therefore we cannot see our noses, because they are on the moon.”
Diary of a Madman • Nikolai Gogol““No one ever arrives home,” she said amiably. “But when the paths of friends meet, the whole world looks like home for a while.””
Demian • Hermann Hesse
