“Pain is a coward. He flees when faced by the irresistible power of the will-to-live, which is more strongly rooted in the flesh than the intensest passion is rooted in the spirit.”
Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman • Stefan Zweig“A hungry people listens not to reason, nor cares for justice, nor is bent by any prayers.”
De Brevitate Vitae • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“Two great European narcotics, alcohol and Christianity.”
Twilight of the Idols • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“Suicide may also be regarded as an experiment -- a question which man puts to Nature, trying to force her to answer. The question is this: What change will death produce in a man’s existence and in his insight into the nature of things? It is a clumsy experiment to make; for it involves the destruction of the very consciousness which puts the question and awaits the answer.”
Parerga and Paralipomena • Arthur Schopenhauer“I wear the chain I forged in life....I made it link by link, and yard by yard; I girded it on of my own free will, and of my own free will I wore it.”
A Christmas Carol • Charles Dickens
