“Chastity is a virtue with some, but with many almost a vice. These people abstain, to be sure: but the bitch Sensuality leers enviously out of all that they do. This restless beast follows them even into the heights of their virtue and into the depths of their cold spirit.”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche“Russian forests crash down under the axe, billions of trees are dying, the habitations of animals and birds are laid waste, rivers grow shallow and dry up, marvelous landscapes are disappearing forever.... Man is endowed with creativity in order to multiply that which has been given him; he has not created, but destroyed. There are fewer and fewer forests, rivers are drying up, wildlife has become extinct, the climate is ruined, and the earth is becoming ever poorer and uglier.”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“I quote others only in order the better to express myself. ”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne“If more of us valued food and cheer above hoarded gold, it would be a much merrier world.”
The Hobbit • J.R.R Tolkien“I looked at that hand and felt how rough and deeply hostile it was to me, how it was reaching out for my life and my peace of mind”
Demian • Hermann Hesse
