“She dealt with moral problems the way a cleaver deals with meat: and in this case she had made up her mind.”
Dubliners • James Joyce“To ordain the future in advance in this way, man must first have learned to distinguish necessary events from chance ones, to think causally, to see and anticipate distant eventualities as if they belonged to the present, to decide with certainty what is the goal and what the means to it, and in general be able to calculate and compute.”
Genealogy of Morals • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“Beauty had this penalty -- it came too readily, came too completely. It stilled life -- froze it. One forgot the little agitations; the flush, the pallor, some queer distortion, some light or shadow, which made the face unrecognisable for a moment and yet added a quality one saw for ever after. It was simpler to smooth that all out under the cover of beauty.”
To the Lighthouse • Virginia Woolf“An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile — hoping it will eat him last.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“the teaching of my philosophy... that our whole existence is something which had better not have been, and that to disown and disclaim it is the highest wisdom.”
Counsels and Maxims • Arthur Schopenhauer
