“That which makes the man no worse than he was makes his life no worse: it has no power to harm, without or within.”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“For whoever has what he has from the God himself clearly has it at first hand; and he who does not have it from the God himself is not a disciple. Let us assume that it is otherwise, that the contemporary generation of disciples had received the condition from the God, and that the subsequent generations were to receive it from these contemporaries – what would follow?”
Philosophical Fragments • Soren Kierkegaard“The lack of money is the root of all evil.”
Mark Twain's Notebook • Mark Twain“First kiss does the trick. The propitious moment. Something inside them goes pop.”
Ulysses • James Joyce“Independence is for the very few; it is a privilege of the strong. And whoever attempts it even with the best right but without inner constraint proves that he is probably not only strong, but also daring to the point of recklessness. He enters into a labyrinth, he multiplies a thousandfold dangers which life brings with it in any case, not the least of which is that no one can see how and where he loses his way, becomes lonely, and is torn piecemeal by some minotaur of conscience. Supposing one like that comes to grief, this happens so far from the comprehension of men that they neither feel it nor sympathize. And he cannot go back any longer.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
