“„All existence seemed to be based on duality, on contrast. Either one was a man or one was a woman, either a wanderer or sedentary burgher, either a thinking person or a feeling person-no one could breathe in at the same time as he breathed out, be a man as well as a woman, experience freedom as well as order, combine instinct and mind. One always had to pay for one with the loss of the other, and one thing was always just as important and desirable as the other.“”
Narcissus and Goldmund • Hermann Hesse“ How easy it is, Doctor, to be a philosopher on paper, and how hard it is in life!”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“With the rise of chiefdoms around 7,500 years ago, people had to learn, for the first time in history, how to encounter strangers regularly without attempting to kill them.”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“Once your pride gets involved, you’ll fight tooth and nail to maintain your habits.”
Atomic Habits • James Clear“Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.”
The Critic as Artist • Oscar Wilde
