“Chastity is a virtue with some, but with many almost a vice. These people abstain, to be sure: but the bitch Sensuality leers enviously out of all that they do. This restless beast follows them even into the heights of their virtue and into the depths of their cold spirit.”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche“Every being ought to do that which is according to its constitution; and all other things have been constituted for the sake of the superior, but the rational for the sake of one another.”
Book VII • Marcus Aurelius“Everything tells me that I am about to make a wrong decision, but making mistakes is just part of life. What does the world want of me? Does it want me to take no risks, to go back to where I came from because I didn’t have the courage to say “yes” to life?””
Eleven Minutes • Paulo Coelho“The most radical division that it is possible to make of humanity is that which splits it into two classes of creatures: Those who make great demands on themselves, piling up difficulties and duties; and those who demand nothing special of themselves, but for whom to live is to be every moment what they already are, without imposing on themselves any effort towards perfection, mere buoys that float on the waves.”
the Revolt of the Masses • Jose Ortega y Gasset“Chess ... a foolish expedient for making idle people believe they are doing something very clever when they are only wasting their time.”
The Irrational Knot • George Bernard Shaw
