“Principles have no real force except when one is well fed.”
Adam's Diary • Mark Twain“How much reverence has a noble man for his enemies!--and such reverence is a bridge to love.--For he desires his enemy for himself, as his mark of distinction; he can endure no other enemy than one in whom there is nothing to despise and very much to honor! In contrast to this, picture "the enemy" as the man of ressentiment conceives him--and here precisely is his deed, his creation: he has conceived "the evil enemy," "the Evil One," and this in fact is his basic concept, from which he then evolves, as an afterthought and pendant, a "good one"--himself!”
Genealogy of Morals • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“People talk sometimes of bestial cruelty, but that's a great injustice and insult to the beasts; a beast can never be so cruel as a man, so artistically cruel.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“Death, like generation, is a secret of Nature.”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“When people agree with me I always feel that I must be wrong.”
The Critic as Artist • Oscar Wilde
