“Meditation on any theme, if positive and honest, inevitably separates him who does the meditating from the opinion prevailing around him, from that which … can be called “public” or “popular” opinion.”
What is Philosophy? • Jose Ortega y Gasset“Woman learns to hate to the extent to which her charms decrease.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“When a child first catches adults out -- when it first walks into his grave little head that adults do not always have divine intelligence, that their judgments are not always wise, their thinking true, their sentences just -- his world falls into panic desolation. The gods are fallen and all safety gone. And there is one sure thing about the fall of gods: they do not fall a little; they crash and shatter or sink deeply into green muck. It is a tedious job to build them up again; they never quite shine. And the child's world is never quite whole again. It is an aching kind of growing.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck“The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde“One will rarely err if extreme actions be ascribed to vanity, ordinary actions to habit, and mean actions to fear.”
Human, All Too Human • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
