“The spirit in which a thing is given determines that in which the gift is acknowledged; it is the intention, not the face-value of the gift, that is weighed.”
Epistulae morales ad Lucilium • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“Don't put too fine a point to your wit for fear it should get blunted.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you choose, what you think and what you do is who you become.”
Fragments • Heraclitus“Freedom's possibility is not the ability to choose the good or the evil. The possibility is to be able. In a logical system, it is convenient to say that possibility passes over into actuality. However, in actuality it is not so convenient, and an intermediate term is required. The intermediate term is anxiety, but it no more explains the qualitative leap than it can justify it ethically. Anxiety is neither a category of necessity nor a category of freedom; it is entangled freedom, where freedom is not free in itself but entangled, not by necessity, but in itself.”
The Concept of Anxiety • Soren Kierkegaard“The guest who has escaped from the roof, will think twice before he comes back in by the door.”
The Two Towers • J.R.R Tolkien
