See All“Something indefinite is always worse than something definite, a strong fear that doesn't last very long is easier than one that's nebulous but doesn't go away.”
The Post Office Girl • Stefan Zweig“Idleness is the beginning of all psychology. What? Could it be that psychology is -- a vice?”
Twilight of the Idols • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“For a long time I was timid in the presence in learning, and I fancied that the insufficiency of the answers which I received was not its fault, but was owing to my own gross ignorance, but this thing was not a joke or a pastime with me, but the business of my life, and I was at last forced, willy-nilly, to the conclusion that these questions of mine were the only legitimate questions underlying all knowledge, and that it was not I that was in fault in putting them, but science in pretending to have an answer for them.”
A Confession • Leo Tolstoy““How one lives is so far distant from how one ought to live, that he who neglects what is done for what ought to be done, sooner effects his ruin than his preservation.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“The skeleton of habit alone upholds the human frame.”
Mrs. Dalloway • Virginia Woolf
