“Where there have been powerful governments, societies, religions, public opinions, in short wherever there has been tyranny, there the solitary philosopher has been hated; for philosophy offers an asylum to a man into which no tyranny can force it way, the inward cave, the labyrinth of the heart.”
Untimely Meditations • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“He whose daily life has been a rounded whole, is easy in his mind.”
Ad Lucilium Epistulae Morales • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“Better sleep with a sober cannibal than a drunken Christian.”
Moby Dick • Herman Melville“If happiness lay in bodily pleasures, we would call oxen happy when they find vetch to eat.”
Fragments • Heraclitus“To stand in the midst of ... this whole marvelous uncertainty and rich ambiguity in existence without questioning, without trembling with the craving and the rapture of such questioning ... that is what I feel to be contemptible, and this is the feeling for which I look first in everybody. Some folly keeps persuading me that every human has this feeling just because he is human.”
The Gay Science • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
