“the teaching of my philosophy... that our whole existence is something which had better not have been, and that to disown and disclaim it is the highest wisdom.”
Counsels and Maxims • Arthur Schopenhauer“Whence come wars, and fighting, and factions? whence but from the body and the lusts of the body? For wars are occasioned by the love of money, and money has to be acquired for the sake and in service of the body; and in consequence of all these things, the time which ought to be given to philosophy is lost.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“You would say... inexperienced as I am, and ready to start, as the proverb says, at my own shadow, I cannot afford to give up the sure ground of principle. ...and when you are further required to give an explanation of this principle, you would go on to assume a higher principle, and the best of the higher ones, until you found a resting place; but you would not refuse the principle and consequences in your reasoning like the Eristics—at least if you wanted to discover real existence.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“[Neurotics are] torn by inner conflicts ... Every neurotic ... is at war with himself.”
Self-Analysis • Karen Horney“If you sing of beauty though alone in the heart of the desert you will have an audience.”
Sand and Foam • Kahlil Gibran
