“I believe all that is possible is striving to come into being; and all that can will, if man helps.”
Fruits of the Earth • Andre Gide“Suicide may also be regarded as an experiment — a question which man puts to Nature, trying to force her to answer. The question is this: What change will death produce in a man’s existence and in his insight into the nature of things? It is a clumsy experiment to make; for it involves the destruction of the very consciousness which puts the question and awaits the answer.”
Counsels and Maxims • Arthur Schopenhauer“„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“The year 2000: April 43rd.—To-day is a day of splendid triumph. Spain has a king; he has been found, and I am he.”
Diary of a Madman • Nikolai Gogol“The word 'service' comes from serving, and serving means being dependent.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig
