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...
Each time a goal is attained, it merely breeds additional needs. Thus more scurrying, more seeking, ad infinitum.
Do not create children until one is ready to be a creator and to spawn creators. It is wrong to bear children out of need, wrong to use a child to alleviate loneliness, wrong to provide purpose in lif...
But you, like me, have good eyes. You looked too far into life. You saw that it was futile to reach wrong goals and futile to set new wrong goals. Multiplications of zero are always zero! Breuer
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...
Again, Nietzsche thumbed through his notes, and then read, ‘One must have chaos and frenzy within oneself to give birth to a dancing star.
А меланхолията? До каква степен съпровожда или следва атаките?- Имам мрачни периоди! Кой няма? Важното е, че те не ме владеят. Не са част от болестта ми, а от същността ми. Може да се каже, че имам ку...
Arthur ne aminteşte adesea (şi lui însuşi) că emoţia are puterea de a ascunde şi de a falsifica cunoaşterea; că lumea întreagă capătă un aspect senin atunci când avem motive să ne bucurăm şi unul întu...
قانون الهی، «خیرِ اعلی» است، «معرفت حقیقیِ خدا و عشق». معرفت حقیقی، به معنای به کمال رساندن «خردمندی» است که به ما امکان می دهد خدا را کامل تر بشناسیم. من عاشق سخنان سلیمانِ پیامبر هستم که می گوید: وق...
عشق به چیزی جاودانه و بی پایان روح را از شعف محض قوت می دهد که فارغ از هرگونه اندوهی است. به همین سبب بسیار خواستنی است و باید با همه توان خود به جست و جوی آن برآمد
شر واپسین این است که زمان بی‌وقفه رو به نابودی است و بودن با نابودی دست‌به‌گریبان.
The true end of the whole love story, though the parties concerned are unaware of it, is that a particular child may be begotten. Therefore what here guides man is really an instinct directed to what...
Si totusi libertatea, vazuta dintr-o perspectiva existentiala, este industructibil legata de anxietate, prin afirmarea ideii ca, in ciuda experientei cotidiene, nu intram si nici nu iesim in cele din...
Religion has everything on its side: revelation, prophecies, government protection, the highest dignity and eminence...and more than this, the invaluable prerogative of being allowed to imprint its do...
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...
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.
And the feeling in the dream, Irene? Almost always my first question. The feeling in a dream often leads to the center of its meaning.
