“When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu“To ordinary human beings, finally--the vast majority who exist for service and the general advantage, and who may exist only for that--religion gives in inestimable contentment with their situation and type, manifold peace of heart, an ennobling of obedience, one further happiness and sorrow with their peers and something transfiguring and beautifying, something of a justification for the whole everyday character, the whole lowliness, the whole half-brutish poverty of their souls. Religion and religious significance spread the splendor of the sun over such ever-toiling human beings and make their own sight tolerable to them.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“Twenty years of romance make a woman look like a ruin, but twenty years of marriage make her something like a public building.”
A Woman of No Importance • Oscar Wilde““Perhaps the feelings that we experience when we are in love represent a normal state."”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov““It’s always difficult to be born. As you know, the bird must make an effort to break out of the egg. Think back and ask: Was the path really that difficult? Merely difficult? Wasn’t it also beautiful? Could you have thought of a more beautiful or easier one?””
Demian • Hermann Hesse
