“"He is, or has been, in many ways a great man. But for this very reason he is odd. It is only petty men who seem normal."”
The Name of The Rose • Umberto Eco“Basic anxiety can be roughly described as a feeling of being small, insignificant, helpless, deserted or endangered in a world that is out to abuse, cheat, humiliate, betray, envy... . And special in this is the child's feeling that the parents' love, their Christian charity, honesty, generosity ... may be only a pretense.”
Our Inner Conflicts: A Constructive Theory of Neurosis • Karen Horney“If anyone thinks he is a Christian and yet is indifferent toward being that, he is not one at all. When Christ says (Matthew 10:17), “Beware of people,” I wonder if by this is not also meant: Beware of being tricked out of the highest by people, by continual comparison, by habit and by externals.”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard“One could say nothing to nobody. The urgency of the moment always missed its mark. Words fluttered sideways and struck the object inches too low. Then one gave it up; then the idea sunk back again; then one became like most middle-aged people, cautious, furtive, with wrinkles between the eyes and a look of perpetual apprehension. For how could one express in words these emotions of the body? express that emptiness there?”
To the Lighthouse • Virginia Woolf“Drink moderately, for drunkeness neither keeps a secret, nor observes a promise.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes
