“I can control my thoughts as necessary; then how can I be troubled? ”
Book VII • Marcus Aurelius“To stand in the midst of ... this whole marvelous uncertainty and rich ambiguity in existence without questioning, without trembling with the craving and the rapture of such questioning ... that is what I feel to be contemptible, and this is the feeling for which I look first in everybody. Some folly keeps persuading me that every human has this feeling just because he is human.”
The Gay Science • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“It was, perhaps, one of those cases in which advice is good or bad only as the event decides.”
Persuasion • Jane Austen“"I did that," says my memory. "I could not have done that," says my pride, and remains inexorable. Eventually the memory yields.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche““And the more I thought about it, the more I dug out my memory things I had overlooked or forgotten. I realized then that a man who had lived only one day could easily live for a hundred years in prison. He would have enough memories to keep him from being bored. In a way, it was an advantage.””
Stranger • Albert Camus
