“Maybe ever’body in the whole damn world is scared of each other.”
Of Mice and Men • John Steinbeck“The secret source of humor itself is not joy but sorrow. There is no humor in heaven.”
Following the Equator • Mark Twain“This is a fine saying of Plato: That he who is discoursing about men should look also at earthly things as if he viewed them from some higher place; should look at them... a mixture of all things and an orderly combination of contraries.”
Book VII • Marcus Aurelius“Delay always breeds danger.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“Anxiety and nothing always correspond to each other. As soon as the actuality of freedom and of spirit is posited, anxiety is canceled. But what then does the nothing of anxiety signify more particularly in paganism. This is fate. Fate is a relation to spirit as external. It is the relation between spirit and something else that is not spirit and to which fate nevertheless stands in a spiritual relation. Fate may also signify exactly the opposite, because it is the unity of necessity and accidental. ... A necessity that is not conscious of itself is eo ipso the accidental in relation to the next moment. Fate, then, is the nothing of anxiety.”
The Concept of Anxiety • Soren Kierkegaard
