“My hope in writing this book has been that enough people will choose to profit from that opportunity to make a difference.”
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond“"You're a gentleman," they used to say to him. "You shouldn't have gone murdering people with a hatchet; that's no occupation for a gentleman."”
Crime And Punishment • Fyodor Dostoevski“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“Art begins with resistance — at the point where resistance is overcome.”
Autumn Leaves • Andre Gide“For sight is woman-like and shuns the old. Ah! he can see enough, when years are told, Who backwards looks.”
Eviradnus • VICTOR HUGO
