“„All existence seemed to be based on duality, on contrast. Either one was a man or one was a woman, either a wanderer or sedentary burgher, either a thinking person or a feeling person-no one could breathe in at the same time as he breathed out, be a man as well as a woman, experience freedom as well as order, combine instinct and mind. One always had to pay for one with the loss of the other, and one thing was always just as important and desirable as the other.“”
Narcissus and Goldmund • Hermann Hesse“Thou wine art the friend of the friendless, though a foe to all.”
Mardi • Herman Melville““God is the same for all men, only men are different.””
The Duel • Anton Chekhov“I think that the philosopher must, for his own purposes, carry methodological strictness to an extreme when he is investigating and pursuing his truths, but when he is ready to enunciate them and give them out, he ought to avoid the cynical skill with which some scientists, like a Hercules at the fair, amuse themselves by displaying to the public the biceps of their technique.”
What is Philosophy? • Jose Ortega y Gasset“Business, you know, may bring money, but friendship hardly ever does.”
Emma • Jane Austen
