“Death,—a stopping of impressions through the senses, and of the pulling of the cords of motion, and of the ways of thought, and of service to the flesh.”
Book VI • Marcus Aurelius“All I really wanted was to try and live the life that was spontaneously welling up within me. Why was that so very difficult?”
Demian • Hermann Hesse““At some time in your life, you probably had someone believe in you when you didn’t believe in yourself.””
The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People • Stephen R. Covey““A slight blow for me: a telegram from Paris, informing me that an old uncle of mine (…) is arriving tomorrow evening. It is a blow because it will take time and I need all the time I have and a thousand times more than all the time I have and most of all I’d like to have all the time there is just for you, for thinking about you, for breathing in you. My apartment is making me restless, the evenings are making me restless, I’d like to be someplace different and I’d prefer it if the office didn’t exist at all; but then I think that I deserve to be hit in the face for speaking beyond the present moment, this moment, which belongs to you.” (6 July 1920)”

History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset
