“Know thyself. A maxim as pernicious as it is ugly. Whoever studies himself arrests his own development. A caterpillar who seeks to know himself would never become a butterfly.”
Autumn Leaves • Andre Gide“Good painters imitated nature while bad ones vomited it.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“I was brought up in the Christian religion, and although I can scarcely sanction all the improper attempts to gain the emancipation of woman, all paganlike reminiscences also seem foolish to me. My brief and simple opinion is that woman is certainly as good as man-period. Any more discursive elaboration of the difference between the sexes or deliberation on which sex is superior is an idle intellectual occupation for loafers and bachelors.”
Stages on Life's Way • Soren Kierkegaard“Whatever may befall you, it was preordained for you from everlasting.”
Book VII • Marcus Aurelius“"Gregor, despite his current sad and revolting form, was a family member who could not be treated as an enemy."”
Metamorphosis and Other Stories • Franz Kafka
