““How easy it is, Doctor, to be a philosopher on paper, and how difficult in real life!””
The Duel • Anton Chekhov“Above all, avoid falsehood, every kind of falsehood, especially falseness to yourself. Watch over your own deceitfulness and look into it every hour, every minute.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski““I wanted to excel in your eyes, show my strength of will, wait before writing you, first finish a document, but the room is empty, no one is minding me – it’s as if someone said: leave him alone, can’t you see how engrossed he is in his own affairs, it’s as if he had a fist in his mouth. So I only wrote half a page and am once again with you, lying on this letter like I lay next to you back then in the forest.” (16 July 1920)”
Letters To Milena • Franz Kafka“Look within. Within is the fountain of the good, and it will ever bubble up, if thou wilt ever dig.”
Book VII • Marcus Aurelius“We must never forget that we may also find meaning in life even when confronted with a hopeless situation, when facing a fate that cannot be changed. For what then matters is to bear witness to the uniquely human potential at its best, which is to transform a personal tragedy into a triumph, to turn one's predicament into a human achievement. When we are no longer able to change a situation-just think of an incurable disease such as inoperable cancer-we are challenged to change ourselves.”
Man's Search For Meaning • Viktor E Frankl
