“Negative emotions are a call to action. When you feel them, you are supposed to do something.”
The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*Ck • Mark Manson““Waste not your Hour, nor in the vain pursuit / Of This and That endeavour and dispute / Better be jocund with the fruitful Grape / Than sadden after none, or bitter, Fruit.””
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam • Omar Khayyam“But then one regrets the loss even of one's worst habits. Perhaps one regrets them the most. They are such an essential part of one's personality.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde“They lived and laughed and loved and left.”
Finnegan's Wake • James Joyce“In general, one must have value oneself in order freely and willingly to acknowledge value in another. This is the basis for the requirement that modesty accompany all merits, as well as the disproportionately loud praise for this virtue which alone, among all its sisters, is always added to the praise of anyone distinguished in some way by the person who dares to praise him, so as to conciliate the worthless and silence their wrath. For what is modesty if not false humility which someone with merits and advantages in a world teeming with perfidious envy uses to beg the pardon of those who have none? Someone who does not lay claim to merit because he in fact has none is being honest, not modest.”
The World As Will and Representation • Arthur Schopenhauer
