“No theory is good except on condition that one use it to go on beyond.”
Journals • Andre Gide“Do not put off till tomorrow what can be put off till day-after-tomorrow just as well.”
Mark Twain's Notebook • Mark Twain“Let no act be done at haphazard, nor otherwise than according to the finished rules that govern its kind.”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“If you want to be well off and yet easily manage to become something, then forget God, never let yourself really become aware, never let it become really clear to you that it is he who has created you from nothing; proceed on the presupposition that a human being does not have time to waste on keeping in mind the one to whom he infinitely and unconditionally owes everything. ... Forget it and be noisy along with the crowd, laugh or cry, be busy from morning until night, be loved and respected and esteemed as a friend, as a public official, as a king, as a pallbearer. Above all be an earnest person by having forgotten the one and only earnestness, to relate yourself to God, to become nothing.”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard““It’s always difficult to be born. As you know, the bird must make an effort to break out of the egg. Think back and ask: Was the path really that difficult? Merely difficult? Wasn’t it also beautiful? Could you have thought of a more beautiful or easier one?””
Demian • Hermann Hesse
