“Now just as the historical gives occasion for the contemporary to become a disciple, but only it must be noted through receiving the condition from the God himself, since otherwise we speak Socratically, so the testimony of contemporaries gives occasion for each successor to become a disciple, but only it must be noted through receiving the condition from the God himself.”
Philosophical Fragments • Soren Kierkegaard“Beauty had this penalty -- it came too readily, came too completely. It stilled life -- froze it. One forgot the little agitations; the flush, the pallor, some queer distortion, some light or shadow, which made the face unrecognisable for a moment and yet added a quality one saw for ever after. It was simpler to smooth that all out under the cover of beauty.”
To the Lighthouse • Virginia Woolf“Maybe ever’body in the whole damn world is scared of each other.”
Of Mice and Men • John Steinbeck“It is a disaster that wisdom forbids you to be satisfied with yourself and always sends you away dissatisfied and fearful, whereas stubbornness and foolhardiness fill their hosts with joy and assurance.”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne“Once your pride gets involved, you’ll fight tooth and nail to maintain your habits.”
Atomic Habits • James Clear
