“A love of tradition has never weakened a nation, indeed it has strengthened nations in their hour of peril; but the new view must come, the world must roll forward.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“What terrible tragedies realism inflicts on people.'”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“„Our heart is a treasury; if you pour out all its wealth at once, you are bankrupt.“”
Le Pere Goriot • Honore de Balzac“Procrastination is the thief of time, collar him.”
David Copperfield • Charles Dickens“The characteristic of the hour is that the commonplace mind, knowing itself to be commonplace, has the assurance to proclaim the rights of the commonplace and to impose them wherever it will. As they say in the United States: "to be different is to be indecent." The mass crushes beneath it everything that is different, everything that is excellent, individual, qualified and select. Anybody who is not like everybody, who does not think like everybody, runs the risk of being eliminated. And it is clear, of course, that this "everybody" is not "everybody." "Everybody" was normally the complex unity of the mass and the divergent, specialised minorities. Nowadays, "everybody" is the mass alone.”
the Revolt of the Masses • Jose Ortega y Gasset
