“When a man says he does not want to speak of something he usually means he can think of nothing else.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck““Milena among the saviors! Milena who is constantly discovering in herself that the only way to save another person is by being there and nothing else. Moreover, she has already saved me once with her presence and now, after the fact, is trying to do so with other, infinitely smaller means. Naturally, saving someone from drowning is a great deed, but what good is it if the savior then sends the saved a gift-certificate for a swimming course?” (31 July 1920)”
Letters To Milena • Franz Kafka““Be patient with yourself. Self-growth is tender; it’s holy ground. There’s no greater investment.””
The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People • Stephen R. Covey“Chastity is a virtue with some, but with many almost a vice. These people abstain, to be sure: but the bitch Sensuality leers enviously out of all that they do. This restless beast follows them even into the heights of their virtue and into the depths of their cold spirit.”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche“Fear prophets, Adso, and those prepared to die for the truth, for as a rule they make many others die with them, often before them, at times instead of them.”
The Name of The Rose • Umberto Eco
