“I shall repeat a hundred times; we really ought to free ourselves from the seduction of words!”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“Trifles make the sum of life.”
David Copperfield • Charles Dickens““I feel as if I had been in the world a thousand years, and I trail my life behind me like an endless scarf.””
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“Those who talk most about the blessings of marriage and the constancy of its vows are the very people who declare that if the chain were broken and the prisoners left free to choose, the whole social fabric would fly asunder. You cannot have the argument both ways. If the prisoner is happy, why lock him in? If he is not, why pretend that he is?”
Man and Superman • George Bernard Shaw“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
