“Man must not only make himself: the weightiest thing he has to do is to determine what he is going to be. He is causa sui to the second power.”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset“When a man understands the art of seeing, he can trace the spirit of an age and the features of a king even in the knocker on a door.”
The Hunchback of Notre Dame • VICTOR HUGO“Pain or pleasure? I say pleasure.”
Discourses • Epictetus“Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For love is sufficient unto love.”
The Prophet • Kahlil Gibran“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
