“Let us... be careful of admitting into our souls the notion that there is no truth or health or soundness in any arguments at all; but let us rather say that there is as yet no health in us, and that we must quit ourselves like men and do our best to gain health—you and all other men with a view to the whole of your future life, and I myself with a view to death.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“People who are so much at the mercy of their moods should never be given serious responsibilities.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig“The secret of the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment of existence is: to live dangerously!”
The Joyful Wisdom • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“The history of the Roman Empire is also the history of the uprising of the Empire of the Masses, who absorb and annul the directing minorities and put themselves in their place. Then, also, is produced the phenomenon of agglomeration, of "the full." For that reason, as Spengler has very well observed, it was necessary, just as in our day, to construct enormous buildings. The epoch of the masses is the epoch of the colossal.”
the Revolt of the Masses • Jose Ortega y Gasset“Families, I hate you! Shut-in homes, closed doors, jealous possessions of happiness.”
Fruits of the Earth • Andre Gide
