““Is there anything surprising in one who passes from divine contemplations to the evil state of man, misbehaving himself in a ridiculous manner; if, while his eyes are blinking and before he has become accustomed to the surrounding darkness, he is compelled to fight in courts of law, or in other places, about the images or the shadows of images of justice, and is endeavouring to meet the conceptions of those who have never yet seen absolute justice?””
Republic • Plato“Sin is whatever obscures the soul.”
The Pastoral Symphony • Andre Gide“„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““You don’t have to cry just because you’re sad.””
My Sweet Orange Tree • José Mauro de Vasconcelos“It's nice for a mediocre man to know that greatness must be the loneliest state in the world.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck
