“Sensuality often hastens the growth of love so much that the roots remain weak and are easily torn up.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“Men do change, and change comes like a little wind that ruffles the curtains at dawn, and it comes like the stealthy perfume of wildflowers hidden in the grass.”
Sweet Thursday • John Steinbeck“If the ethical – that is, social morality – is the highest ... then no categories are needed other than the Greek philosophical categories.”
Fear and Trembling • Soren Kierkegaard“It is said that their souls (animals) are inferior. Yes, but in the end, like us, they feel pain and joy. Their inferiority determines for us the duty of the elder brother, not the right of tyranny and oppression.”
The Benefits of Vegetarianism • Sadegh Hedayat“When does the soul obtain truth?—for in attempting to consider anything in company with the body she is obviously deceived. ...Then must not existence be revealed to her in thought, if at all? ...And thought is best when the mind is gathered into herself and none of these things trouble her—neither sounds nor sights nor pain nor any pleasure—when she has as little as possible to do with the body, and has no bodily sense or feeling, but is aspiring after being? ...And in this the philosopher dishonors the body; his soul runs away from the body and desires to be alone and by herself?”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato
