“One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.”
The Alchemist • Paulo Coelho“The truth is ... that human beings have neither kindness, nor faith, nor charity beyond what serves to increase the pleasure of the moment. They hunt in packs. Their packs scour the desert and vanish screaming into the wilderness.”
Mrs. Dalloway • Virginia Woolf“Nothing happens to anybody which he is not fitted by nature to bear.”
Book V • Marcus Aurelius““We were all big. Big and sad people who had their share of the same sadness, with little bits and pieces.””
My Sweet Orange Tree • José Mauro de Vasconcelos“If you want to be well off and yet easily manage to become something, then forget God, never let yourself really become aware, never let it become really clear to you that it is he who has created you from nothing; proceed on the presupposition that a human being does not have time to waste on keeping in mind the one to whom he infinitely and unconditionally owes everything. ... Forget it and be noisy along with the crowd, laugh or cry, be busy from morning until night, be loved and respected and esteemed as a friend, as a public official, as a king, as a pallbearer. Above all be an earnest person by having forgotten the one and only earnestness, to relate yourself to God, to become nothing.”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard
