“Be it well understood, I am free by compulsion, whether I wish to be or not. Freedom is not an activity pursued by an entity that, apart from and previous to such pursuit, is already possessed of a fixed being. To be free means to be lacking in constitutive identity, not to have subscribed to a determined being, to be able to be other than what one was, to be unable to install oneself once and for all in any given being. The only attribute of the fixed, stable being in the free being is this constitutive instability.”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset“It was not intended as a compliment. It was a confession. Now that I have made it, something seems to have gone out of me. Perhaps one should never put one's worship into words.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde“Practice yourself, for heaven's sake, in little things; and thence proceed to greater.”
Discourses • Epictetus““She was, as you know already without as yet knowing anything, the Lily of this valley, where she grew for heaven, filling it with the fragrance of her virtues.””
The Lily Of The Valley • Honore de Balzac“Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once.”
Julius Caesar • William Shakespeare
