“We may, indeed, indulge in sport and jest, but in the same way as we enjoy sleep or other relaxations, and only when we have satisfied the claims of our earnest, serious task”
On Duties • Marcus Tullius Cicero“What seems to us serious, significant and important will, in future times, be forgotten or won’t seem important at all.”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“The awful thing is that beauty is mysterious as well as terrible. God and the devil are fighting there and the battlefield is the heart of man.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“We must make the best use that we can of the things which are in our power, and use the rest according to their nature.”
Discourses • Epictetus““This perversion of the truth, familiar to the artist though it was, always unnerved him afresh and proved too much for him. What was a consequence of the premature ending of his fast was here presented as the cause of it! To fight against this lack of understanding, against a whole world of nonunderstanding, was impossible.” ”
A Hunger Artist • Franz Kafka
