“When the head aches, all the members share the pain.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“The church is precisely that against which Jesus preached -- and against which he taught his disciples to fight.”
Unpublished fragment • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche““Slower, he walked along in his thoughts and asked himself: “But what is this, what you have sought to learn from teachings and from teachers, and what they, who have taught you much, were still unable to teach you?” And he found: “It was the self, the purpose and essence of which I sought to learn. It was the self, I wanted to free myself from, which I sought to overcome. But I was not able to overcome it, could only deceive it, could only flee from it, only hide from it. Truly, no thing in this world has kept my thoughts thus busy, as this my very own self, this mystery of me being alive, of me being one and being separated and isolated from all others, of me being Siddhartha! And there is no thing in this world I know less about than about me, about Siddhartha!”″”
Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse“Though we see the same world, we see it through different eyes.”
Three Guineas • Virginia Woolf“Once it's been proved to you that you're descended from an ape, it's no use pulling a face; just accept it. Once they've proved to you that a single droplet of your own fat must be dearer to you than a hundred thousand of your fellow human beings and consequently that all so-called virtues and duties are nothing but ravings and prejudices, then accept that too, because there's nothing to be done.”
Notes from Underground • Fyodor Dostoevski
