“Unbecoming to a gentleman, too, and vulgar are the means of livelihood of all hired workmen whom we pay for mere manual labour, not for artistic skill; for in their case the very wage they receive is a pledge of their slavery.”
On Duties • Marcus Tullius Cicero““How easy it is, Doctor, to be a philosopher on paper, and how difficult in real life!””
The Duel • Anton Chekhov“Women have served all these centuries as looking-glasses possessing the magic and delicious power of reflecting the figure of man at twice its natural size.”
A Room of One's Own • Virginia Woolf“Only the thoughts that we live out have any value.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“If anyone thinks he is a Christian and yet is indifferent toward being that, he is not one at all. When Christ says (Matthew 10:17), “Beware of people,” I wonder if by this is not also meant: Beware of being tricked out of the highest by people, by continual comparison, by habit and by externals.”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard
