“Loyalty to petrified opinions never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul in this world -- and never will.”
Consistency • Mark Twain“„One thing, however, did become clear to him [Goldmund] – why so many perfect works of art did not please him at all, why they were almost hateful and boring to him, in spite of a certain undeniable beauty. Workshops, churches, and palaces were full of these fatal works of art; he had even helped with a few himself. They were deeply disappointing because they aroused the desire for the highest and did not fulfill it. They lacked the most essential thing – mystery. That was what dreams and truly great works of art had in common: mystery.“”
Narcissus and Goldmund • Hermann Hesse“Fools have a habit of believing that everything written by a famous author is admirable. For my part I read only to please myself and like only what suits my taste.”
Candide • Voltaire“A man can be himself only so long as he is alone; and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom; for it is only when he is alone that he is really free.”
Essays and Aphorisms • Arthur Schopenhauer“There is no easy way from the earth to the stars.”
Hercules Furens • Lucius Annaeus Seneca
