““This perversion of the truth, familiar to the artist though it was, always unnerved him afresh and proved too much for him. What was a consequence of the premature ending of his fast was here presented as the cause of it! To fight against this lack of understanding, against a whole world of nonunderstanding, was impossible.” ”
A Hunger Artist • Franz Kafka“To learn to see -- to accustom the eye to calmness, to patience, and to allow things to come up to it; to defer judgment, and to acquire the habit of approaching and grasping an individual case from all sides. This is the first preparatory schooling of intellectuality. One must not respond immediately to a stimulus; one must acquire a command of the obstructing and isolating instincts.”
Twilight of the Idols • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“Believe those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who find it.”
So Be It; or, The Chips Are Down • Andre Gide“Hatred is a feeling which leads to the extinction of values”
Meditations on Quixote • Jose Ortega y Gasset“Nothing happens to anyone that he can't endure. ”
Book V • Marcus Aurelius
