“the teaching of my philosophy... that our whole existence is something which had better not have been, and that to disown and disclaim it is the highest wisdom.”
Counsels and Maxims • Arthur Schopenhauer“Men of profound sadness betray themselves when they are happy: they have a way of embracing happiness as if they wanted to crush and suffocate it, from jealousy: alas, they know only too well that it will flee.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche““To fear love is to fear life, and those whose fear life are already three parts dead...””
Seagull • Anton Chekhov““People have character strength but they lack communication skills, and that undoubtedly affects the quality of relationships as well.””
The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People • Stephen R. Covey“An old proverb fetched from the outward and visible world says: "Only the man that works gets the bread." Strangely enough this proverb does not aptly apply in that world to which it expressly belongs. For the outward world is subjected to the law of imperfection, and again and again the experience is repeated that he too who does not work gets the bread, and that he who sleeps gets it more abundantly than the man who works. In the outward world everything is made payable to the bearer, this world is in bondage to the law of indifference, and to him who has the ring, the spirit of the ring is obedient, whether he be Noureddin or Aladdin, and he who has the world's treasure, has it, however he got it.”
Fear and Trembling • Soren Kierkegaard
