“The relationship between the individual and God, the God-relationship, is the conscience.”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard“Shall I show you the sinews of a philosopher? "What sinews are those?" — A will undisappointed; evils avoided; powers daily exercised, careful resolutions; unerring decisions.”
Discourses • Epictetus“Much better an intelligent hell than a stupid paradise.”
Ninety-Three • VICTOR HUGO“There are 80,000 prostitutes in London alone and what are they, if not bloody sacrifices on the altar of monogamy?”
Studies in Pessimism • Arthur Schopenhauer“They’re afraid because they have never accepted themselves. A community consisting exclusively of people afraid of the unknown in themselves! They all feel that the rules they live by are no longer valid, that they’re following outdated commandments; neither their religions nor their morality, nothing is suited to what we need. For a century and more, Europe has done nothing but study and build factories! They know exactly how many grams of powder it takes to kill someone, but they don’t know how to pray to God, they don’t even know how to be contented for an hour at a time.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse
