“All war is a symptom of man's failure as a thinking animal.”
Once There Was a War • John Steinbeck“Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.”
The Fellowship of the Ring • J.R.R Tolkien“Be it well understood, I am free by compulsion, whether I wish to be or not. Freedom is not an activity pursued by an entity that, apart from and previous to such pursuit, is already possessed of a fixed being. To be free means to be lacking in constitutive identity, not to have subscribed to a determined being, to be able to be other than what one was, to be unable to install oneself once and for all in any given being. The only attribute of the fixed, stable being in the free being is this constitutive instability.”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset““How one lives is so far distant from how one ought to live, that he who neglects what is done for what ought to be done, sooner effects his ruin than his preservation.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“This is what happens when you hurry through a maze; the faster you go, the worse you are entangled.”
Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium • Lucius Annaeus Seneca
