““Some for the Glories of This World; and some / Sigh for the Prophet's Paradise to come; / Ah, take the Cash, and let the Credit go, / Nor heed the rumble of a distant Drum!””
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam • Omar Khayyam“And life itself spoke this secret to me. "Behold," it said, "I am that which must ever overcome itself."”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche“Stop the excuses and the procrastination. This is your life! You aren't a child anymore.... The longer you wait, the more you'll be vulnerable to mediocrity and feel filled with shame and regret, because you know you are capable of better. From this instant on, vow to stop disappointing yourself. Separate yourself from the mob. Decide to be extraordinary and do what you need to do -- now.”
The Art of Living • Epictetus“this second, violent world gushed out fragrantly everywhere, except in our rooms, where Mother and Father were. And that was very good. It was wonderful that here among us there was peace, order, and repose, duty and a clear conscience, forgiveness and love—and wonderful that all the rest existed, all those noisy, glaring, somber, and violent things, which nevertheless could be escaped with a single bound toward one’s mother.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“Without a mother, one cannot love. Without a mother, one cannot die.“”
Narcissus and Goldmund • Hermann Hesse
