“The nature of the All moved to make the universe.”
Book VII • Marcus Aurelius“A man of genius makes no mistakes. His errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery.”
Ulysses • James Joyce“Nothing makes you madder than wanting to defend yourself against something you can't even get hold of, something the human race is doing to you, but still there's nobody you can grab by the throat.”
The Post Office Girl • Stefan Zweig“The characteristic of the hour is that the commonplace mind, knowing itself to be commonplace, has the assurance to proclaim the rights of the commonplace and to impose them wherever it will. As they say in the United States: "to be different is to be indecent." The mass crushes beneath it everything that is different, everything that is excellent, individual, qualified and select. Anybody who is not like everybody, who does not think like everybody, runs the risk of being eliminated. And it is clear, of course, that this "everybody" is not "everybody." "Everybody" was normally the complex unity of the mass and the divergent, specialised minorities. Nowadays, "everybody" is the mass alone.”
the Revolt of the Masses • Jose Ortega y Gasset“Why is it that the stupidest people are always the most good-natured?”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig
