“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
The Fellowship of the Ring • J.R.R Tolkien“There's many a true word spoken in jest.”
Ulysses • James Joyce“There is a limit to the time assigned you, and if you don't use it to free yourself it will be gone and never return. ”
Book II • Marcus Aurelius“The measure of a person's disposition is this: ... how great is the distance between his understanding and his actions. Basically we all understand the highest. A child, the simplest person, and the wisest all understand the highest. ... But what makes the difference is whether we understand it at a distance—so that we do not act accordingly, or close at hand—so that we act accordingly and "cannot do otherwise."”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard“It was the first rift in my father’s sanctity, it was the first nick in the pillars on which my childish life had rested, and which every human being must destroy before he can become himself. It is of these experiences, invisible to everyone, that the inner, essential line of our destiny consists. That kind of rift and nick closes over again, it is healed and forgotten, but in the most secret chamber of the mind it continues to live and bleed.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse
