“Christianity has done its utmost to close the circle and declared even doubt to be sin. One is supposed to be cast into belief without reason, by a miracle, and from then on to swim in it as in the brightest and least ambiguous of elements: even a glance towards land, even the thought that one perhaps exists for something else as well as swimming, even the slightest impulse of our amphibious nature -- is sin! And notice that all this means that the foundation of belief and all reflection on its origin is likewise excluded as sinful. What is wanted are blindness and intoxication and an eternal song over the waves in which reason has drowned.”
Thoughts on the Prejudices of Morality • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche““If ever my life can be of any use to you, come and claim it.””
Seagull • Anton Chekhov““When a man is rich, whether in gold or in knowledge, he must treat the poverty of others with consideration.””
Leo Africanus • Amin Maalouf“Like all sciences and all valuations, the psychology of women has hitherto been considered only from the point of view of men.”
Feminine Psychology • Karen Horney“People talk sometimes of a bestial cruelty, but that's a great injustice and insult to the beasts; a beast can never be so cruel as a man, so artistically cruel. The tiger only tears and gnaws, that's all he can do. He would never think of nailing people by the ears, even if he were able to do it.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski
