“Nothing is so stifling as symmetry. Symmetry is boredom, the quintessence of mourning. Despair yawns. There is something more terrible than a hell of suffering -- a hell of boredom.”
Les Misérables • VICTOR HUGO“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“I have always thought that clarity is a form of courtesy that the philosopher owes; moreover, this discipline of ours considers it more truly a matter of honor today than ever before to be open to all minds … This is different from the individual sciences which increasingly [interpose] between the treasure of their discoveries and the curiosity of the profane the tremendous dragon of their closed terminology.”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset“The man who deceives shows more justice than he who does not”
Gorgias • Plato“Wanting positive experience is a negative experience; accepting negative experience is a positive experience.”
The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*Ck • Mark Manson
