“Short cuts make delays, but inns make longer ones”
The Fellowship of the Ring • J.R.R Tolkien“An army is a strange composite masterpiece, which strength results from an enormous sum total of utter weaknesses. Thus only can we explain a war waged by humanity against humanity in spite of humanity.”
Les Misérables • VICTOR HUGO““Oh, threats of Hell and Hopes of Paradise! / One thing at least is certain — This Life flies; / One thing is certain and the rest is Lies; / The Flower that once has blown for ever dies.””
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam • Omar Khayyam“To become what one is, one must not have the faintest idea what one is.”
Ecce Homo • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“Anxiety and nothing always correspond to each other. As soon as the actuality of freedom and of spirit is posited, anxiety is canceled. But what then does the nothing of anxiety signify more particularly in paganism. This is fate. Fate is a relation to spirit as external. It is the relation between spirit and something else that is not spirit and to which fate nevertheless stands in a spiritual relation. Fate may also signify exactly the opposite, because it is the unity of necessity and accidental. ... A necessity that is not conscious of itself is eo ipso the accidental in relation to the next moment. Fate, then, is the nothing of anxiety.”
The Concept of Anxiety • Soren Kierkegaard
