“The soul is made of stuff so mysteriously elastic that a single event can make it big enough to contain the infinite.”
The Post Office Girl • Stefan Zweig“Only loss teaches us about the value of things.”
Essays and Aphorisms • Arthur Schopenhauer“Basic anxiety can be roughly described as a feeling of being small, insignificant, helpless, deserted or endangered in a world that is out to abuse, cheat, humiliate, betray, envy... . And special in this is the child's feeling that the parents' love, their Christian charity, honesty, generosity ... may be only a pretense.”
Our Inner Conflicts: A Constructive Theory of Neurosis • Karen Horney“Love ought not to make requests,” she said, “but shouldn’t make demands, either. Love must have the strength to reach certainty for itself. Then it no longer undergoes the power of attraction, but exerts it.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“The finest virtues can become deformed with age. The precise mind becomes finicky; the thrifty man, miserly; the cautious man, timorous; the man of imagination, fanciful. Even perseverance ends up in a sort of stupidity. Just as, on the other hand, being too willing to understand too many opinions, too diverse ways of seeing, constancy is lost and the mind goes astray in a restless fickleness.”
Reflections on Literature and Morality • Andre Gide
