“In reality, hope is the worst of all evils, because it prolongs the torments of man.”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche“The acceptance of oneself is the essence of the whole moral problem and the epitome of a whole outlook on life. That I feed the hungry, that I forgive an insult, that I love my enemy in the name of Christ -- all these are undoubtedly great virtues. What I do unto the least of my brethren, that I do unto Christ. But what if I should discover that the least among them all, the poorest of all the beggars, the most impudent of all the offenders, the very enemy himself -- that these are within me, and that I myself stand in need of the alms of my own kindness -- that I myself am the enemy who must be loved -- what then?”
Memories, Dreams, Reflections • Carl Gustav Jung“As a wolf resembles a dog, so both a flatterer and an adulterer and a parasite resemble a friend. Take care then that instead of watch dogs you do not without knowing it let in mischievous wolves.”
Fragment • Epictetus“Once shame touches your being at any point, even the most distant nerve is implicated, whether you know it or not; any fleeting encounter or random thought will rake up the anguish and add to it.”
The Post Office Girl • Stefan Zweig“Respect of parents curbs the spirit and restrains vices.”
Day's Collacon • Lucius Annaeus Seneca
