“A cat looks down upon a man, and a dog looks up to a man, but a pig will look a man in the eye and see his equal.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill““If a task isn’t worth being done properly, then it’s not worth doing at all.””
Surrounded by Idiots • Thomas Erikson“And life itself spoke this secret to me. "Behold," it said, "I am that which must ever overcome itself."”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche“In this life our sorrows are either not very long or not very great because nature either overcomes them by habits or puts an end to them by sinking under their weight. But in hell the torments cannot be overcome by habit, for while they are of terrible intensity they are at the same time of continual variety, each pain, so to speak, taking fire from another and re-endowing that which has enkindled it with a still fiercer flame.”
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man • James Joyce“Optimism is not only a false but also a pernicious doctrine, for it presents life as a desirable state and man's happiness as its aim and object. Starting from this, everyone then believes he has the most legitimate claim to happiness and enjoyment. If, as usually happens, these do not fall to his lot, he believes that he suffers an injustice, in fact that he misses the whole point of his existence.”
The World As Will and Representation • Arthur Schopenhauer
