“Perhaps it takes courage to raise children.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck“In general, one must have value oneself in order freely and willingly to acknowledge value in another. This is the basis for the requirement that modesty accompany all merits, as well as the disproportionately loud praise for this virtue which alone, among all its sisters, is always added to the praise of anyone distinguished in some way by the person who dares to praise him, so as to conciliate the worthless and silence their wrath. For what is modesty if not false humility which someone with merits and advantages in a world teeming with perfidious envy uses to beg the pardon of those who have none? Someone who does not lay claim to merit because he in fact has none is being honest, not modest.”
The World As Will and Representation • Arthur Schopenhauer“The question is asked in ignorance, by one who does not even know what can have led him to ask it.”
Philosophical Fragments • Soren Kierkegaard“A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at, for it leaves out the one country at which Humanity is always landing.”
The Soul of Man Under Socialism • Oscar Wilde“It is better to be hated for what you are than loved for what you are not.”
Autumn Leaves • Andre Gide
