“Revolutions have never lightened the burden of tyranny. They have only shifted it to another shoulder.”
Man and Superman • George Bernard Shaw“Pride is an established conviction of one's own paramount worth in some particular respect, while vanity is the desire of rousing such a conviction in others, and it is generally accompanied by the secret hope of ultimately coming to the same conviction oneself. Pride works from within; it is the direct appreciation of oneself. Vanity is the desire to arrive at this appreciation indirectly, from without.”
Parerga and Paralipomena • Arthur Schopenhauer“No one would ever believe how hard it is to be really alone in a city of millions when you don't have money.”
The Post Office Girl • Stefan Zweig“To stand in the midst of ... this whole marvelous uncertainty and rich ambiguity in existence without questioning, without trembling with the craving and the rapture of such questioning ... that is what I feel to be contemptible, and this is the feeling for which I look first in everybody. Some folly keeps persuading me that every human has this feeling just because he is human.”
The Gay Science • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche““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
