“After all, in the poets love has its priests, and sometimes one hears a voice which knows how to defend it; but of faith one hears never a word. Who speaks in honor of this passion? Philosophy goes further. Theology sits rouged at the window and courts its favor, offering to sell her charms to philosophy. it is supposed to be difficult to understand Hegel, but to understand Abraham is a trifle. To go beyond Hegel's is a miracle, but to get beyond Abraham is the easiest thing of all.”
Fear and Trembling • Soren Kierkegaard“Though seemingly remote from human sexuality, shorebird sexuality is instructive because it illustrates the main message of this book: a species’ sexuality is molded by other aspects of the species’ biology. It’s easier for us to acknowledge this conclusion about shorebirds, to which we don’t apply moral standards, than about ourselves.”
Why Is Sex Fun?: The Evolution of Human Sexuality • Jared Diamond“Of course, Alexander the Great was a hero, but why smash the chairs?”
The Inspector General • Nikolai Gogol“A thought, even a possibility, can shatter and transform us.”
Anti-Christ • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“If they drive God from the earth, we shall shelter Him underground.”
