Die meisten Menschen wissen gar nicht,
wie schön die Welt ist
und wieviel Pracht in den kleinsten Dingen,
in einer Blume, einem Stein, einer Baumrinde
oder einem Birkenblatt sich offenbart.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Because we cannot discover God's throne in the sky with a radio telescope or establish (for certain) that a beloved father or mother is still about in a more or less corporeal form, people assume that such ideas are *not true.* I would rather say that they are not *true* enough, for these are conceptions of a kind that have accompanied human life from prehistoric times, and that still break through into consciousness at any provocation.
Carl Gustav Jung
Believe me Felix, women are fundamentaly evil. Their only purpose in this world is to wreck men's hearts, empty their wallets and ruin their lives. The only thing to do is to pretend they don't exist.
Pierre La Mure - Beyond Desire (1955)
We aim above the mark to hit the mark.
What the caterpillar calls the end, the rest of the world calls a butterfly.
The easiest thing in the world is to be you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position.
A man's life is interesting primarily when he had failed for it's a sign that he tried to surpass himself.
A stupid or simple person is always ready to see the wrong in another and ready to form an opinion and to judge. But you will find a wise person expressing his opinion of others quite differently, always trying to tolerate and always trying to forgive still more.
The present is the reflection of the past, and the future will be the echo of the present;
this saying will always prove true.
