“Nothing can come of nothing.”
King Lear • William Shakespeare“Words are acoustical signs for concepts; concepts, however, are more or less definite image signs for often recurring and associated sensations, for groups of sensations. To understand one another, it is not enough that one use the same words; one also has to use the same words for the same species of inner experiences; in the end one has to have one's experiences in common.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“To experience conflicts knowingly, though it may be distressing, can be an invaluable asset. The more we face our own conflicts and seek out our own solutions, the more inner freedom and strength we will gain. Only when we are willing to bear the brunt can we approximate the ideal of being the captain of our ship. Spurious tranquillity rooted in inner dullness is anything but enviable. It is bound to make us weak and an easy prey to any kind of influence.”
Our Inner Conflicts: A Constructive Theory of Neurosis • Karen Horney“To know how to free oneself is nothing; the arduous thing is to know what to do with one's freedom.”
Autumn Leaves • Andre Gide“Do not put off till tomorrow what can be put off till day-after-tomorrow just as well.”
Mark Twain's Notebook • Mark Twain
