“The self-deceived person may even think he is able to console others who became victims of perfidious deception, but what insanity when someone who himself has lost the eternal wants to heal the person who is extremely sick unto death!”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard“ “He dies only the five senses that we know perish with him, and the other ninety-five remain alive.””
Uncle Vanya • Anton Chekhov“Rather, Nature’s intentions for man are inscribed in individuals, in you and me.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“In this present life, I reckon that we make the nearest approach to knowledge when we have the least possible concern or interest in the body, and are not saturated with the bodily nature, but remain pure until the hour when God himself is pleased to release us. And then the foolishness of the body will be cleared away and we shall be pure and hold converse with othe pure souls, and know of ourselves the clear light everywhere; and this is surely the light of truth. For no impure thing is allowed to approach the pure. These are the sort of words, Simmias, which the true lovers of wisdom cannot help saying to one another, and thinking.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“In this world, shipmates, sin that pays its way can travel freely, and without a passport; whereas Virtue, if a pauper, is stopped at all frontiers.”
Moby Dick • Herman Melville
