“Man is a synthesis of psyche and body, but he is also a synthesis of the temporal and the eternal. In the former, the two factors are psyche and body, and spirit is the third, yet in such a way that one can speak of a synthesis only when the spirit is posited. The latter synthesis has only two factors, the temporal and the eternal. Where is the third factor? And if there is no third factor, there really is no synthesis, for a synthesis that is a contradiction cannot be completed as a synthesis without a third factor, because the fact that the synthesis is a contradiction asserts that it is not. What, then, is the temporal?”
The Concept of Anxiety • Soren Kierkegaard“ “It was merely the substitution of one piece of nonsense for another.””
1984 • George Orwell“Now, blessings light on him that first invented this same sleep! It covers a man all over, thoughts and all, like a cloak; it is meat for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, heat for the cold, and cold for the hot. It is the current coin that purchases all the pleasures of the world cheap, and the balance that sets the king and the shepherd, the fool and the wise man, even.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.”
Atomic Habits • James Clear“There's many a true word spoken in jest.”
Ulysses • James Joyce
