“As ill-luck would have it ...”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“Nature is not a temple but a workshop, and man is the workman in it." ”
Fathers and Sons • Ivan Turgenev““He lived in friendship beside Vasudeva, and sometimes they would exchange words with each other, few and well-considered words. Vasudeva was no friend of words, Siddhartha seldom succeeded in inducing him to speak.””
Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse“There are people who the more you do for them, the less they will do for themselves.”
Emma • Jane Austen“How much reverence has a noble man for his enemies!--and such reverence is a bridge to love.--For he desires his enemy for himself, as his mark of distinction; he can endure no other enemy than one in whom there is nothing to despise and very much to honor! In contrast to this, picture "the enemy" as the man of ressentiment conceives him--and here precisely is his deed, his creation: he has conceived "the evil enemy," "the Evil One," and this in fact is his basic concept, from which he then evolves, as an afterthought and pendant, a "good one"--himself!”
Genealogy of Morals • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
