““To fear love is to fear life, and those whose fear life are already three parts dead...””
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“It is a blessing not yet to have acquired that over-keen, diagnostic, misanthropic eye, and to be able to look at people and things trustfully when one first sees them.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig“At bottom every man knows well enough that he is a unique being, only once on this earth; and by no extraordinary chance will such a marvelously picturesque piece of diversity in unity as he is, ever be put together a second time.”
Thoughts Out of Season • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“Pain is a coward. He flees when faced by the irresistible power of the will-to-live, which is more strongly rooted in the flesh than the intensest passion is rooted in the spirit.”
Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman • Stefan Zweig“My views may seem to ignore a moral imperative that businesses should follow virtuous principles, whether or not it is most profitable for them to do so. Instead I prefer to recognize that, throughout human history, [...] government regulation has arisen precisely because it was found to be necessary for the enforcement of moral principles. Invocation of moral principles is a necessary first step for eliciting virtuous behavior, but that alone is not a sufficient step.”
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond
