“In our monogamous part of the world, to marry means to halve one's rights and double one's duties.”
Parerga and Paralipomena • Arthur Schopenhauer“Is it really not possible to touch the gaming table without being instantly infected by superstition?”
The Gambler • Fyodor Dostoevski“We imitate the habits of three groups in particular: The close. The many. The powerful.”
Atomic Habits • James Clear“An old proverb fetched from the outward and visible world says: "Only the man that works gets the bread." Strangely enough this proverb does not aptly apply in that world to which it expressly belongs. For the outward world is subjected to the law of imperfection, and again and again the experience is repeated that he too who does not work gets the bread, and that he who sleeps gets it more abundantly than the man who works. In the outward world everything is made payable to the bearer, this world is in bondage to the law of indifference, and to him who has the ring, the spirit of the ring is obedient, whether he be Noureddin or Aladdin, and he who has the world's treasure, has it, however he got it.”
Fear and Trembling • Soren Kierkegaard“Begin at once to live, and count each separate day as a separate life.”
Ad Lucilium Epistulae Morales • Lucius Annaeus Seneca
