“Ever more people today have the means to live, but no meaning to live for.”
Man's Search For Meaning • Viktor E Frankl“Everything in the world is about sex except sex. Sex is about power.”
Lying Fully Clothed • Oscar Wilde“"There, Master Niketas," Baudolino said, "when I was not prey to the temptations of this world, I devoted my nights to imagining other worlds. ... There is nothing better than imagining other worlds," he said, "to forget the painful one we live in. At least so I thought then. I hadn't yet realized that, imagining other worlds, you end up changing this one."”
Baudolino • Umberto Eco“Even the finest sword plunged into salt water will eventually rust.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu“Be it well understood, I am free by compulsion, whether I wish to be or not. Freedom is not an activity pursued by an entity that, apart from and previous to such pursuit, is already possessed of a fixed being. To be free means to be lacking in constitutive identity, not to have subscribed to a determined being, to be able to be other than what one was, to be unable to install oneself once and for all in any given being. The only attribute of the fixed, stable being in the free being is this constitutive instability.”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset
