“Without It, the fairest universe is but a randomly scattered dust-heap. If we are to speak with intelligence, we must found our being on that which is common to all... For that Logos which governs man is born of the One, which is Divine. It [the Divine] governs the universe by Its will, and is more than sufficient to everyone.”
Fragments • Heraclitus“Optimism is not only a false but also a pernicious doctrine, for it presents life as a desirable state and man's happiness as its aim and object. Starting from this, everyone then believes he has the most legitimate claim to happiness and enjoyment. If, as usually happens, these do not fall to his lot, he believes that he suffers an injustice, in fact that he misses the whole point of his existence.”
The World As Will and Representation • Arthur Schopenhauer“Every man is as Heaven made him, and sometimes a great deal worse.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“Everything is dangerous, my dear fellow. If it wasn't so, life wouldn't be worth living.”
The importance of Being Earnest • Oscar Wilde“Dear and most respected bookcase! I welcome your existence, which has for over one hundred years been devoted to the radiant ideals of goodness and justice.”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov
