“Let woman be a plaything, pure and fine, like a precious stone, illumined with the virtues of a world not yet come.”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche“Lawyers are shy of meddling with the Law on their own account: knowing it to be an edged tool of uncertain application, very expensive in the working, and rather remarkable for its properties of close shaving than for its always shaving the right person.”
Old Curiosity Shop • Charles Dickens“I hear the ruin of all space, shattered glass and toppled masonry, and time one livid final flame.”
Ulysses • James Joyce““How does Chekhov’s artistic “programme” comment on the message of The Duel, and vice versa? I should like to be a free artist and nothing more, and I regret that God has not given me the power to be one. I hate lying and violence in all their forms. . . . Pharisaism, stupidity and despotism reign not in merchants’ houses and prisons alone. I see them in science, in literature, in the younger generation. . . . That is why I have no preference either for gendarmes, or for butchers, or for scientists, or for writers, or for the younger generation. I regard trade-marks and labels as a superstition. My holy of holies is the human body, health, intelligence, talent, inspiration, love, and the most absolute freedom— freedom from violence and lying, whatever forms they may take. This is the programme I would follow if I were a great artist.*””
The Duel • Anton Chekhov“The secret of the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment of existence is: to live dangerously!”
The Joyful Wisdom • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
