“He who wills believes with a fair amount of certainty that will and action are somehow one; he ascribes the success, the carrying out of the willing, to the will itself, and thereby enjoys an increase of the sensation of power which accompanies all success.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“If youth were not ignorant and timid, civilization would be impossible.”
Le Pere Goriot • Honore de Balzac“Never look for birds of this year in the nests of the last.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“Where there have been powerful governments, societies, religions, public opinions, in short wherever there has been tyranny, there the solitary philosopher has been hated; for philosophy offers an asylum to a man into which no tyranny can force it way, the inward cave, the labyrinth of the heart.”
Untimely Meditations • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“Once it's been proved to you that you're descended from an ape, it's no use pulling a face; just accept it. Once they've proved to you that a single droplet of your own fat must be dearer to you than a hundred thousand of your fellow human beings and consequently that all so-called virtues and duties are nothing but ravings and prejudices, then accept that too, because there's nothing to be done.”
Notes from Underground • Fyodor Dostoevski
