“In this initial illimitableness of possibilities that characterizes one who has no nature there stands out only one fixed, pre-established, and given line by which he may chart his course, only one limit: the past.”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset“I was not in full control of myself, and it seemed that I knew her name from before. The evil in her eyes, her color, her scent and her movements were all familiar to me. It was as though my souls, in the life before this, in the world of imagination, had bordered on her soul and that both souls, of the same essence and substance, were destined for union. I must have lived this life very close to her. I had no desire to touch her; the invisible beams that emanated from our bodies and mingled were sufficient for me. Isn't this terrifying experience which seemed so familiar to met quite the same as the feelings of two lovers who feel that they have known each other before and that a mysterious relationship has previously existed between them? Was it possible that someone else could affect me? The dry, repulsive and ominous laughter of the old man, however, tore our bonds asunder.”
The Blind Owl • Sadegh Hedayat“Accept suffering and achieve atonement through it — that is what you must do.”
Crime And Punishment • Fyodor Dostoevski“ "Wisdom, compassion, and courage are the three universally recognized moral qualities of men."”
The Analects of Confucius • Confucius“Nature is not a temple but a workshop, and man is the workman in it." ”
Fathers and Sons • Ivan Turgenev
