“[..] the values to which people cling most stubbornly under inappropriate conditions are those values that were previously the source of their greatest triumphs.”
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond“It's in vain to recall the past, unless it works some influence upon the present.”
David Copperfield • Charles Dickens““Siddhartha learned a great deal from the Samanas; he learned many ways of losing the Self. He traveled along the path of self-denial through pain, through voluntary suffering and conquering of pain, through hunger, thirst and fatigue. He traveled the way of self-denial through meditation, through the emptying of the mind through all images. Along these and other paths did he learn to travel. He lost his Self a thousand times and for days on end he dwelt in non-being. But although the paths took him away from Self, in the end they always led back to it.””
Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse“A word in earnest is as good as a speech.”
Bleak House • Charles Dickens“Mercy often inflicts death.”
Troades • Lucius Annaeus Seneca
