“There is an innocence in admiration; it is found in those to whom it has never yet occurred that they, too, might be admired some day.”
Unpublished fragment • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche““Life is like a fire. Flames forgotten by the night on the road, ashes scattered in front of the wind; here, a human life has come and gone.””
Samarkand • Amin Maalouf“There are not more than five musical notes, yet the combinations of these five give rise to more melodies than can ever be heard.There are not more than five primary colors, yet in combination they produce more hues than can ever been seen.There are not more than five cardinal tastes, yet combinations of them yield more flavors than can ever be tasted.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu““The secret of boring people lies in telling them everything.””
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“To ordinary human beings, finally--the vast majority who exist for service and the general advantage, and who may exist only for that--religion gives in inestimable contentment with their situation and type, manifold peace of heart, an ennobling of obedience, one further happiness and sorrow with their peers and something transfiguring and beautifying, something of a justification for the whole everyday character, the whole lowliness, the whole half-brutish poverty of their souls. Religion and religious significance spread the splendor of the sun over such ever-toiling human beings and make their own sight tolerable to them.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
