“Pleasure, like a kind of bait, is thrown before everything which is really bad, and easily allures greedy souls to the hook of perdition.”
Fragment • Epictetus““Listen, then, he said; I proclaim that justice is nothing else than the interest of the stronger.””
Republic • Plato“Sex: a sweet poison only to the withered, but to the lion-willed the great cordial and the reverently reserved wine of wines.”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche“Chess ... a foolish expedient for making idle people believe they are doing something very clever when they are only wasting their time.”
The Irrational Knot • George Bernard Shaw““Milena among the saviors! Milena who is constantly discovering in herself that the only way to save another person is by being there and nothing else. Moreover, she has already saved me once with her presence and now, after the fact, is trying to do so with other, infinitely smaller means. Naturally, saving someone from drowning is a great deed, but what good is it if the savior then sends the saved a gift-certificate for a swimming course?” (31 July 1920)”
Letters To Milena • Franz Kafka
