See All“ “When we break down our prison walls and run towards freedom, we are in fact running into the more spacious exercise yard of a bigger prison.””
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind • Yuval Noah Harari“The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde“Remember that impact is the product of two factors: population multiplied times impact per person.”
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond“But when returning into herself she [the soul] reflects; then she passes into the realm of purity, and eternity, and immortality, and unchangeableness, which are her kindred, and with them she ever lives, when she is by herself and is not let or hindered; then she ceases from her erring ways, and being in communion with the unchanging is unchanging. And this state of the soul is called wisdom.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“Anxiety may be compared with dizziness. He whose eye happens to look down into the yawning abyss becomes dizzy. But what is the reason for this? It is just as much in his own eye as in the abyss, for suppose he had not looked down. Hence, anxiety is the dizziness of freedom, which emerges when the spirit wants to posit the synthesis and freedom looks down into its own possibility, laying hold of finiteness to support itself. Freedom succumbs to dizziness. Further than this, psychology cannot and will not go. In that very moment everything is changed, and freedom, when it again rises, sees that it is guilty. Between these two moments lies the leap, which no science has explained and which no science can explain. He who becomes guilty in anxiety becomes as ambiguously guilty as it is possible to become.”
The Concept of Anxiety • Soren Kierkegaard
