“Man is a synthesis of psyche and body, but he is also a synthesis of the temporal and the eternal. In the former, the two factors are psyche and body, and spirit is the third, yet in such a way that one can speak of a synthesis only when the spirit is posited. The latter synthesis has only two factors, the temporal and the eternal. Where is the third factor? And if there is no third factor, there really is no synthesis, for a synthesis that is a contradiction cannot be completed as a synthesis without a third factor, because the fact that the synthesis is a contradiction asserts that it is not. What, then, is the temporal?”
The Concept of Anxiety • Soren Kierkegaard“When men are about to commit, or sanction the commission of some injustice, it is not uncommon for them to express pity for the object either of that or some parallel proceeding, and to feel themselves, at the time, quite virtuous and moral, and immensely superior to those who express no pity at all. This is a kind of upholding of faith above works, and is very comfortable.”
Nicholas Nickleby • Charles Dickens“Chess ... a foolish expedient for making idle people believe they are doing something very clever when they are only wasting their time.”
The Irrational Knot • George Bernard Shaw“I had already experienced plenty of loneliness. Now I sensed that even deeper loneliness existed, and that it was inescapable.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“Ultimately, it is your commitment to the process that will determine your progress.”
Atomic Habits • James Clear
