“In this initial illimitableness of possibilities that characterizes one who has no nature there stands out only one fixed, pre-established, and given line by which he may chart his course, only one limit: the past.”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset“ “The world is, of course, nothing but our conception of it.””
The Cherry Orchard • Anton Chekhov“Anxiety may be compared with dizziness. He whose eye happens to look down into the yawning abyss becomes dizzy. But what is the reason for this? It is just as much in his own eye as in the abyss, for suppose he had not looked down. Hence, anxiety is the dizziness of freedom, which emerges when the spirit wants to posit the synthesis and freedom looks down into its own possibility, laying hold of finiteness to support itself. Freedom succumbs to dizziness. Further than this, psychology cannot and will not go. In that very moment everything is changed, and freedom, when it again rises, sees that it is guilty. Between these two moments lies the leap, which no science has explained and which no science can explain. He who becomes guilty in anxiety becomes as ambiguously guilty as it is possible to become.”
The Concept of Anxiety • Soren Kierkegaard“People often ask, "What is the single most important environmental/population problem facing the world today?" A flip answer would be, "The single most important problem is our misguided focus on identifying the single most important problem!"”
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond“The gods throw the dice, freeing love from its cage. And love can create or destroy — depending on the direction of the wind when it is set free.”
By The River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept • Paulo Coelho
