“For it is not death or pain that is to be feared, but the fear of pain or death.”
Discourses • Epictetus“Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.”
The Canterville Ghost • Oscar Wilde“Strictly speaking, the mass, as a psychological fact, can be defined without waiting for individuals to appear in mass formation. In the presence of one individual we can decide whether he is "mass" or not. The mass is all that which sets no value on itself — good or ill — based on specific grounds, but which feels itself "just like everybody," and nevertheless is not concerned about it; is, in fact, quite happy to feel itself as one with everybody else.”
the Revolt of the Masses • Jose Ortega y Gasset“The guest who has escaped from the roof, will think twice before he comes back in by the door.”
The Two Towers • J.R.R Tolkien“Theirs, too, is the word-coining genius, as if thought plunged into a sea of words and came up dripping.”
The Common Reader • Virginia Woolf
