“A man who had two sons ... went to the first and said, "Son, go out and work in my vineyard today." But he answered and said, "I will not," but afterward he repented of it and he went. And the father went to the second and said the same. But he answered, "I will, sir," and he did not go. Which of the two did the will of his father?”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard“An old proverb fetched from the outward and visible world says: "Only the man that works gets the bread." Strangely enough this proverb does not aptly apply in that world to which it expressly belongs. For the outward world is subjected to the law of imperfection, and again and again the experience is repeated that he too who does not work gets the bread, and that he who sleeps gets it more abundantly than the man who works. In the outward world everything is made payable to the bearer, this world is in bondage to the law of indifference, and to him who has the ring, the spirit of the ring is obedient, whether he be Noureddin or Aladdin, and he who has the world's treasure, has it, however he got it.”
Fear and Trembling • Soren Kierkegaard“I know who I am and who I may be, if I choose.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes““Why do I hear a note of sadness that wrings my heart in this cry of a pure soul?"”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“My loneliness was born when men praised my talkative faults and blamed my silent virtues.”
Sand and Foam • Kahlil Gibran
