“It might be a basic characteristic of existence that those who would know it completely would perish, in which case the strength of spirit should be measured according to how much of the "truth" one could still barely endure--or to put it more clearly, to what degree one would require it to be thinned down, shrouded, sweetened, blunted, falsified.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“When a person can’t find a deep sense of meaning, they distract themselves with pleasure.”
Man's Search For Meaning • Viktor E Frankl“You don’t have to be the victim of your environment. You can also be the architect of it.”
Atomic Habits • James Clear“He is ungrateful who denies that he has received a kindness which has been bestowed upon him; he is ungrateful who conceals it; he is ungrateful who makes no return for it; most ungrateful of all is he who forgets it.”
De Beneficiis • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“I have claimed that Escape is one of the main functions of fairy-stories, and since I do not disapprove of them, it is plain that I do not accept the tone of scorn or pity with which 'Escape' is now so often used. Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home? Or if he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about other topics than jailers and prison-walls?”
On Fairy-Stories • J.R.R Tolkien
