See All“Deem not life a thing of consequence. For look at the yawning void of the future, and at that other limitless space, the past.”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“God is the middle term. Only by loving God above all else can one love the neighbor. Love for the neighbor is therefore the eternal equality in loving. Equality is simply not to make distinctions and eternal equality is unconditionally not to make the slightest distinction, unqualifiedly not to make the slightest distinction. The essential Christian is itself too weighty, in its movements too earnest to scurry about, dancing, in the frivolity of such facile talk about the higher, highest, and the supremely highest.”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard“I was not in full control of myself, and it seemed that I knew her name from before. The evil in her eyes, her color, her scent and her movements were all familiar to me. It was as though my souls, in the life before this, in the world of imagination, had bordered on her soul and that both souls, of the same essence and substance, were destined for union. I must have lived this life very close to her. I had no desire to touch her; the invisible beams that emanated from our bodies and mingled were sufficient for me. Isn't this terrifying experience which seemed so familiar to met quite the same as the feelings of two lovers who feel that they have known each other before and that a mysterious relationship has previously existed between them? Was it possible that someone else could affect me? The dry, repulsive and ominous laughter of the old man, however, tore our bonds asunder.”
The Blind Owl • Sadegh Hedayat“Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“The separation of psychology from the premises of biology is purely artificial, because the human psyche lives in indissoluble union with the body.”
Factors Determining Human Behavior • Carl Gustav Jung
