“An army is a strange composite masterpiece, which strength results from an enormous sum total of utter weaknesses. Thus only can we explain a war waged by humanity against humanity in spite of humanity.”
Les Misérables • VICTOR HUGO“I conceive that the founders of the mysteries had a real meaning and were not mere triflers when they intimated in a figure long ago that he who passes unsanctified and uninitiated into the world below will live in a slough, but that he who arrives there after initiation and purification will dwell with the gods. For "many," as they say in the mysteries, "are the thyrsus bearers, but few are the mystics,"—meaning, as I interpret the words, the true philosophers.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.”
Archetypes of the Collective Unconscious • Carl Gustav Jung““You can kill someone in your heart. Stop loving them. And one day they die.””
My Sweet Orange Tree • José Mauro de Vasconcelos““This perversion of the truth, familiar to the artist though it was, always unnerved him afresh and proved too much for him. What was a consequence of the premature ending of his fast was here presented as the cause of it! To fight against this lack of understanding, against a whole world of nonunderstanding, was impossible.” ”
A Hunger Artist • Franz Kafka
