“As it is so strangely ordained in this world, what is amusing will turn into being gloomy, if you stand too long before it, and then God knows what ideas may not stray into the mind... Why is it that even in moments of unthinking, careless gaiety a different and strange mood comes upon one?”
Dead Souls • Nikolai Gogol“Order is not enough. You can’t just be stable, and secure, and unchanging, because there are still vital and important new things to be learned. Nonetheless, chaos can be too much. You can’t long tolerate being swamped and overwhelmed beyond your capacity to cope while you are learning what you still need to know. Thus, you need to place one foot in what you have mastered and understood and the other in what you are currently exploring and mastering. Then you have positioned yourself where the terror of existence is under control and you are secure, but where you are also alert and engaged. That is where there is something new to master and some way that you can be improved. That is where meaning is to be found.””
12 Rules For Life: An Antidote To Chaos • Jordan B. Peterson““She imagined accepting it all. The way she accepted nature. The way she accepted a glacier or a puffin or the breach of a whale.”
Midnight Library • Matt Haig“Accept suffering and achieve atonement through it — that is what you must do.”
Crime And Punishment • Fyodor Dostoevski“Everything about woman is a riddle, and everything about woman has a single solution: that is, pregnancy.”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche
