““Pain was something one had to die with. It was something that left no strength in the arms, in the head, and destroyed even the courage to turn the head from side to side on the pillow.””
My Sweet Orange Tree • José Mauro de Vasconcelos“Rational behavior ... depends upon a ceaseless flow of data from the environment. It depends upon the power of the individual to predict, with at least a fair success, the outcome of his own actions. To do this, he must be able to predict how the environment will respond to his acts. Sanity, itself, thus hinges on man's ability to predict his immediate, personal future on the basis of information fed him by the environment.”
Future Shock • Alvin Toffler“Words are only painted fire; a look is the fire itself.”
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court • Mark Twain“The only way a woman can ever reform a man is by boring him so completely that he loses all possible interest in life.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde“What is the ape to man? A laughing-stock or a painful embarrassment. And just the same shall be man to the Übermensch: a laughing-stock or a painful embarrassment.”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche
