Recommended Books
See All“When... in the course of all these thousands of years has man ever acted in accordance with his own interests?”
Notes from Underground • Fyodor Dostoevski“Time does not tarry ever ... but change and growth is not in all things and places alike.”
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“The controlling Intelligence understands its own nature, and what it does, and whereon it works.”
Book VI • Marcus Aurelius“In revenge and in love woman is more barbaric than man is.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
