“The things that never happen, are often as much realities to us, in their effects, as those that are accomplished.”
David Copperfield • Charles Dickens“Someone who's on top of the world isn't much of an observer: happy people are poor psychologists. But someone who's troubled about something is on the alert. The perceived threat sharpens his senses - he takes in more than he usually does.”
The Post Office Girl • Stefan Zweig“The history of the Roman Empire is also the history of the uprising of the Empire of the Masses, who absorb and annul the directing minorities and put themselves in their place. Then, also, is produced the phenomenon of agglomeration, of "the full." For that reason, as Spengler has very well observed, it was necessary, just as in our day, to construct enormous buildings. The epoch of the masses is the epoch of the colossal.”
the Revolt of the Masses • Jose Ortega y Gasset“Why are you being so stingy?", Sobakevich demanded. "It's cheap at the price. A rogue would cheat you, sell you some worthless rubbish instead of souls, but mine are as juicy as ripe nuts, all picked—they are all either craftsmen or sturdy peasants.”
Dead Souls • Nikolai Gogol“Choose not to be harmed—and you won't feel harmed. Don't feel harmed—and you haven't been. ”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius
