“Every living creature is happy when he fulfills his destiny, that is, when he realizes himself, when he is being that which in truth he is. For this reason, Schlegel, inverting the relationship between pleasure and destiny, said, “We have a genius for what we like.” Genius, man’s superlative gift for doing something, always carries a look of supreme pleasure.”
What is Philosophy? • Jose Ortega y Gasset“Short cuts make delays, but inns make longer ones”
The Fellowship of the Ring • J.R.R Tolkien“Somewhere in the world there is a defeat for everyone. Some are destroyed by defeat, and some made small and mean by victory. Greatness lives in one who triumphs equally over defeat and victory.”
The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights • John Steinbeck“It might be a basic characteristic of existence that those who would know it completely would perish, in which case the strength of spirit should be measured according to how much of the "truth" one could still barely endure--or to put it more clearly, to what degree one would require it to be thinned down, shrouded, sweetened, blunted, falsified.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche““There is an old saying that "by the yard it's hard; but inch by inch, anything's a cinch!””
Eat That Frog! • Brian Tracy
