““Perhaps a lunatic was simply a minority of one.” ”
1984 • George Orwell“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“That which makes the man no worse than he was makes his life no worse: it has no power to harm, without or within.”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“After a few months’ acquaintance with European “coffee,” one’s mind weakens, and his faith with it, and he begins to wonder if the rich beverage of home, with its clotted layer of yellow cream on top of it, is not a mere dream after all, and a thing which never existed.”
A Tramp Abroad • Mark Twain““If you’re going to insist on bending the world to your way, you better have your reasons. If you’re going to stand your ground, you better have your reasons. You better have thought them through. You might otherwise be in for a very hard landing.””
12 Rules For Life: An Antidote To Chaos • Jordan B. Peterson
