“Malice is always lucky.”
The Post Office Girl • Stefan Zweig“To ordain the future in advance in this way, man must first have learned to distinguish necessary events from chance ones, to think causally, to see and anticipate distant eventualities as if they belonged to the present, to decide with certainty what is the goal and what the means to it, and in general be able to calculate and compute.”
Genealogy of Morals • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“All great ideas are dangerous.”
De Profundis • Oscar Wilde“To tell the truth, I often felt uneasy when I thought of the excessive brittleness and fragility of the moon. The moon is generally repaired in Hamburg, and very imperfectly. It is done by a lame cooper, an obvious blockhead who has no idea how to do it. He took waxed thread and olive-oil—hence that pungent smell over all the earth which compels people to hold their noses. And this makes the moon so fragile that no men can live on it, but only noses. Therefore we cannot see our noses, because they are on the moon.”
Diary of a Madman • Nikolai Gogol“He whose daily life has been a rounded whole, is easy in his mind.”
Ad Lucilium Epistulae Morales • Lucius Annaeus Seneca
