“But each person is not only himself, he is also the unique, very special point, important and noteworthy in every instance, where the phenomena of the world meet, once only and never again in the same way.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“The more destruction there is everywhere, the more it shows the activity of town authorities.”
The Inspector General • Nikolai Gogol“Every woman while she would be ready to die of shame if surprised in the act of generation, nonetheless carries her pregnancy without a trace of shame and indeed with a kind of pride. The reason is that pregnancy is in a certain sense a cancellation of the guilt incurred by coitus; thus coitus bears all the shame and disgrace of the affair, while pregnancy, which is so intimately associated with it, stays pure and innocent and is indeed to some extent sacred.”
Essays and Aphorisms • Arthur Schopenhauer“It should be noted that vegetarianism is still a source of ridicule for those who do not know the truth; How easily we laughed at our ancestors, the day will come when future generations will laugh at our superstitions.”
The Benefits of Vegetarianism • Sadegh Hedayat“Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown”
Henry IV • William Shakespeare
