“It needs to realize that what happens to everyone—bad and good alike—is neither good nor bad. (Hays translation)”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius““In the West, we have been withdrawing from our tradition-, religion- and even nation-centred cultures, partly to decrease the danger of group conflict. But we are increasingly falling prey to the desperation of meaninglessness, and that is no improvement at all.””
12 Rules For Life: An Antidote To Chaos • Jordan B. Peterson“It is always a silly thing to give advice, but to give good advice is absolutely fatal.”
The Portrait of Mr. W. H. • Oscar Wilde“I have claimed that Escape is one of the main functions of fairy-stories, and since I do not disapprove of them, it is plain that I do not accept the tone of scorn or pity with which 'Escape' is now so often used. Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home? Or if he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about other topics than jailers and prison-walls?”
On Fairy-Stories • J.R.R Tolkien“The world perishes not from bandits and fires, but from hatred, hostility, and all these petty squabbles.”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov
