From both my personal and my professional experience, I had come to believe that the fear of death is always greatest in those who feel that they have not lived their life fully.
Exactly. We know that the great Goethe carried a copy of Spinoza’s Ethics in his pocket for a year. Imagine that—an entire year! And not only Goethe but many other great Germans. Lessing and Heine rep...
Dissect your motives deeper! You will find that no one has ever done anything wholly for others. All actions are self-directed, all service is self-serving, all love self-loving.
Desi realitatea concreta, fizica, a mortii ne distruge, ideea de moarte ar putea sa ne salveze.
Can it be that I have escaped neither my past nor my mother?
Bilinç, varoluşu kaplayan yarı saydam bir zardan ibarettir: Eğitimli bir göz bunun arkasını görebilir; ilkel dürtüleri, içgüdüleri ve güç istemini asıl neyin harekete geçirdiğini bulabilir.
Aynayı bıraktı. Kırk iki yıl kalmıştı! Kırk iki yıl daha nasıl dayanacaktı? Kırk iki yıl daha yılların geçmesini bekleyecekti. Kırk iki yıl daha yaşlanan gözlerine bakacaktı. Zaman hapishanesinden kaç...

Pass, then, through this little space of time in harmony with nature and end thy journey in contentment, just as an olive falls off when it is ripe, blessing nature who produced it, and thanking the t...
My dear Lou, I, too, have dawns about me, and not painted ones! Something I no longer believed possible, to find a friend for my ultimate happiness and suffering, now seems to me possible—the golden...
