“Be sure of this, O young ambition, all mortal greatness is but disease.”
Moby Dick • Herman Melville“I write only for my shadow which is cast on the wall in front of the light. I must introduce myself to it.”
The Blind Owl • Sadegh Hedayat“With the rise of chiefdoms around 7,500 years ago, people had to learn, for the first time in history, how to encounter strangers regularly without attempting to kill them.”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“If your ultimate and highest goal is to have life made easy and sociable, then never become involved with Christianity, shun it, because it wants the very opposite; it wants to make your life difficult and to do this by making you alone before God. No earnest person, therefore, wearies of tracking down the illusions, because insofar as he is a thinking person he fears most to be in error, however cozy the arrangement is, however good the company—and as a Christian he fears most to be lost without knowing it—however flattering, however splendid the surroundings and the company are.”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard“No date. The day had no date.”
Diary of a Madman • Nikolai Gogol
