“You should read only when your own thoughts dry up, which will of course happen frequently enough even to the best heads; but to banish your own thoughts so as to take up a book is a sin against the holy ghost; it is like deserting untrammeled nature to look at a herbarium or engravings of landscapes.”
Parerga and Paralipomena • Arthur Schopenhauer“Fashion is what one wears oneself. What is unfashionable is what other people wear.”
An Ideal Husband • Oscar Wilde“Our greatest freedom is the freedom to choose our attitude.”
Man's Search For Meaning • Viktor E Frankl“Every tradition grows ever more venerable - the more remote its origin, the more confused that origin is. The reverence due to it increases from generation to generation. The tradition finally becomes holy and inspires awe.”
Human, All Too Human • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“What is that the inherence of which, will render the body alive? [The soul.] ...Then whatever the soul possesses, to that she comes bearing life? ...And is there an opposite to life? [Death.] Then the soul, as she has been acknowledged, will never receive the opposite of what she brings. ...And what do we call the principle which does not admit of death? [The immortal.] And does the soul admit of death? [No.] Then the soul is immortal? [Yes.]”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato
