“Where pride is insistent enough, memory prefers to give way.”
Man and His Symbols • Carl Gustav Jung“There's no quiet place here on earth for our love, not in the village and not anywhere else, so I picture a grave, deep and narrow, in which we embrace as if clamped together, I bury my face against you, you yours against me, and no one will ever see us.”
The Castle • Franz Kafka“Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person.”
Mark Twain's Notebook • Mark Twain“Art is Individualism, and Individualism is a disturbing and disintegrating force. Therein lies its immense value. For what it seeks to disturb is monotony of type, slavery of custom, tyranny of habit, and the reduction of man to the level of a machine.”
The Soul of Man Under Socialism • Oscar Wilde“I think that the philosopher must, for his own purposes, carry methodological strictness to an extreme when he is investigating and pursuing his truths, but when he is ready to enunciate them and give them out, he ought to avoid the cynical skill with which some scientists, like a Hercules at the fair, amuse themselves by displaying to the public the biceps of their technique.”
What is Philosophy? • Jose Ortega y Gasset
