“Variant: That which is really beautiful has no need of anything. ”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the ability to investigate systematically and truly all that comes under thy observation in life.”
Book III • Marcus Aurelius“In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.”
Mark Twain's Notebook • Mark Twain“The only thing that sustains one through life is the consciousness of the immense inferiority of everybody else, and this is a feeling that I have always cultivated.”
The Remarkable Rocket • Oscar Wilde“Freedom's possibility is not the ability to choose the good or the evil. The possibility is to be able. In a logical system, it is convenient to say that possibility passes over into actuality. However, in actuality it is not so convenient, and an intermediate term is required. The intermediate term is anxiety, but it no more explains the qualitative leap than it can justify it ethically. Anxiety is neither a category of necessity nor a category of freedom; it is entangled freedom, where freedom is not free in itself but entangled, not by necessity, but in itself.”
The Concept of Anxiety • Soren Kierkegaard
