“Fools admire everything in an author of reputation.”
Candide • Voltaire“How much reverence has a noble man for his enemies!--and such reverence is a bridge to love.--For he desires his enemy for himself, as his mark of distinction; he can endure no other enemy than one in whom there is nothing to despise and very much to honor! In contrast to this, picture "the enemy" as the man of ressentiment conceives him--and here precisely is his deed, his creation: he has conceived "the evil enemy," "the Evil One," and this in fact is his basic concept, from which he then evolves, as an afterthought and pendant, a "good one"--himself!”
Genealogy of Morals • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“When... in the course of all these thousands of years has man ever acted in accordance with his own interests?”
Notes from Underground • Fyodor Dostoevski“Long only for what you have.”
Fruits of the Earth • Andre Gide“It was her habit to build up laughter out of inadequate materials.”
The Grapes of Wrath • John Steinbeck
