“One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other.”
Emma • Jane Austen“How singular is the thing called pleasure, and how curiously related to pain, which might be thought to be the opposite of it; for they never come to a man together, and yet he who pursues either of them is generally compelled to take the other. They are two, and yet they grow together out of one head or stem.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“Though men are inseparable from the Logos, yet they are separated in it; and though they encounter it daily, they are alienated from it”
Fragments • Heraclitus““I wanted to excel in your eyes, show my strength of will, wait before writing you, first finish a document, but the room is empty, no one is minding me – it’s as if someone said: leave him alone, can’t you see how engrossed he is in his own affairs, it’s as if he had a fist in his mouth. So I only wrote half a page and am once again with you, lying on this letter like I lay next to you back then in the forest.” (16 July 1920)”
Letters To Milena • Franz Kafka“Which is it: is man one of God's blunders, or is God one of man's blunders?”
Twilight of the Idols • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
