“precious to us. And don't you tell me these fruits are worthless; the poorest dauber, un barbouilleur, the man who plays dance music for five farthings an evening, even they are of more use than you because they stand for civilization and not for.”
Fathers and Sons • Ivan Turgenev“ “Do not be surprised by anything, truth and people have two sides.””
Samarkand • Amin Maalouf“If there is no immortality, there is no virtue. ... Without God and immortal life? All things are lawful then, they can do what they like?”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“ Literacy made the Spaniards heirs to a huge body of knowledge about human behavior and history. ”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“If you want to be well off and yet easily manage to become something, then forget God, never let yourself really become aware, never let it become really clear to you that it is he who has created you from nothing; proceed on the presupposition that a human being does not have time to waste on keeping in mind the one to whom he infinitely and unconditionally owes everything. ... Forget it and be noisy along with the crowd, laugh or cry, be busy from morning until night, be loved and respected and esteemed as a friend, as a public official, as a king, as a pallbearer. Above all be an earnest person by having forgotten the one and only earnestness, to relate yourself to God, to become nothing.”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard
