“No theory is good except on condition that one use it to go on beyond.”
Journals • Andre Gide“The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it.”
Modern Man in Search of a Soul • Carl Gustav Jung“I pass with relief from the tossing sea of Cause and Theory to the firm ground of Result and Fact.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“One by one they were all becoming shades. Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.”
Dubliners • James Joyce““How does Chekhov’s artistic “programme” comment on the message of The Duel, and vice versa? I should like to be a free artist and nothing more, and I regret that God has not given me the power to be one. I hate lying and violence in all their forms. . . . Pharisaism, stupidity and despotism reign not in merchants’ houses and prisons alone. I see them in science, in literature, in the younger generation. . . . That is why I have no preference either for gendarmes, or for butchers, or for scientists, or for writers, or for the younger generation. I regard trade-marks and labels as a superstition. My holy of holies is the human body, health, intelligence, talent, inspiration, love, and the most absolute freedom— freedom from violence and lying, whatever forms they may take. This is the programme I would follow if I were a great artist.*””
The Duel • Anton Chekhov
