“Old age realizes the dreams of youth: look at Dean Swift; in his youth he built an asylum for the insane, in his old age he was himself an inmate.”
Either/Or • Soren Kierkegaard“There is no feeling so simple that it is not immediately complicated and distorted by introspection.”
Reflections on Literature and Morality • Andre Gide“I conceive that the founders of the mysteries had a real meaning and were not mere triflers when they intimated in a figure long ago that he who passes unsanctified and uninitiated into the world below will live in a slough, but that he who arrives there after initiation and purification will dwell with the gods. For "many," as they say in the mysteries, "are the thyrsus bearers, but few are the mystics,"—meaning, as I interpret the words, the true philosophers.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“Only a few individuals succeed in throwing off mythology in a time of a certain intellectual supremacy--the mass never frees itself.”
Psychology of the Unconscious • Carl Gustav Jung““No sooner therefore do you enter society, instead of living a life apart, than you are bound to consider its conditions binding; a contract is signed between you.””
The Lily Of The Valley • Honore de Balzac
