“Whatever is in any way beautiful hath its source of beauty in itself, and is complete in itself; praise forms no part of it. So it is none the worse nor the better for being praised.”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“Cruelty would be delicious if one could only find some sort of cruelty that didn’t really hurt.”
Heartbreak House • George Bernard Shaw“Order is not enough. You can’t just be stable, and secure, and unchanging, because there are still vital and important new things to be learned. Nonetheless, chaos can be too much. You can’t long tolerate being swamped and overwhelmed beyond your capacity to cope while you are learning what you still need to know. Thus, you need to place one foot in what you have mastered and understood and the other in what you are currently exploring and mastering. Then you have positioned yourself where the terror of existence is under control and you are secure, but where you are also alert and engaged. That is where there is something new to master and some way that you can be improved. That is where meaning is to be found.””
12 Rules For Life: An Antidote To Chaos • Jordan B. Peterson““Knowledge can be conveyed, but not wisdom. It can be found, it can be lived, it is possible to be carried by it, miracles can be performed with it, but it cannot be expressed in words and taught.””
Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse“„How mysterious this life was, how deep and muddy its waters ran, yet how clear and noble what emerged from them.“”
Narcissus and Goldmund • Hermann Hesse
