“To escape boredom, man works either beyond what his usual needs require, or else he invents play, that is, work that is designed to quiet no need other than that for working in general.”
Human, All Too Human • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche““How one lives is so far distant from how one ought to live, that he who neglects what is done for what ought to be done, sooner effects his ruin than his preservation.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“There was need of a phantastic, indestructible optimism, and one far removed from all sense of reality, in order, for example, to discover in the shameful death of Christ really the highest salvation and the redemption of the world.”
Psychology of the Unconscious • Carl Gustav Jung“Do you really think ... that it is weakness that yields to temptation? I tell you that there are terrible temptations that it requires strength, strength and courage, to yield to. To stake all one's life on a single moment, to risk everything on one throw, whether the stake be power or pleasure, I care not -- there is no weakness in that.”
An Ideal Husband • Oscar Wilde“Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand?”
Macbeth • William Shakespeare
