“He whose daily life has been a rounded whole, is easy in his mind.”
Ad Lucilium Epistulae Morales • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“„One thing, however, did become clear to him [Goldmund] – why so many perfect works of art did not please him at all, why they were almost hateful and boring to him, in spite of a certain undeniable beauty. Workshops, churches, and palaces were full of these fatal works of art; he had even helped with a few himself. They were deeply disappointing because they aroused the desire for the highest and did not fulfill it. They lacked the most essential thing – mystery. That was what dreams and truly great works of art had in common: mystery.“”
Narcissus and Goldmund • Hermann Hesse“People who feel entitled view every occurrence in their life as either an affirmation of, or a threat to, their own greatness.”
The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*Ck • Mark Manson“So remember this principle when something threatens to cause you pain: the thing itself was no misfortune at all; to endure it and prevail is great good fortune.”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“In our monogamous part of the world, to marry means to halve one's rights and double one's duties.”
Parerga and Paralipomena • Arthur Schopenhauer
