“It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.”
Great Expectations • Charles Dickens“The conception of what is normal varies not only with the culture but also within the same culture, in the course of time.”
The Neurotic Personality Of Our Time • Karen Horney“Freedom's possibility is not the ability to choose the good or the evil. The possibility is to be able. In a logical system, it is convenient to say that possibility passes over into actuality. However, in actuality it is not so convenient, and an intermediate term is required. The intermediate term is anxiety, but it no more explains the qualitative leap than it can justify it ethically. Anxiety is neither a category of necessity nor a category of freedom; it is entangled freedom, where freedom is not free in itself but entangled, not by necessity, but in itself.”
The Concept of Anxiety • Soren Kierkegaard“I have always thought that clarity is a form of courtesy that the philosopher owes; moreover, this discipline of ours considers it more truly a matter of honor today than ever before to be open to all minds … This is different from the individual sciences which increasingly [interpose] between the treasure of their discoveries and the curiosity of the profane the tremendous dragon of their closed terminology.”
What is Philosophy? • Jose Ortega y Gasset“Where neither love nor hatred is in the game, a woman's game is mediocre.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
