“Man is a substantial emigrant on a pilgrimage of being, and it is accordingly meaningless to set limits to what he is capable of being.”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset“Somewhere in the world there is a defeat for everyone. Some are destroyed by defeat, and some made small and mean by victory. Greatness lives in one who triumphs equally over defeat and victory.”
The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights • John Steinbeck“Art is Individualism, and Individualism is a disturbing and disintegrating force. Therein lies its immense value. For what it seeks to disturb is monotony of type, slavery of custom, tyranny of habit, and the reduction of man to the level of a machine.”

[It] reminded her that she was, first and foremost, a human living on a planet.

Midnight Library • Matt Haig“Whatever may befall you, it was preordained for you from everlasting.”
