The Chaotic Pace
“To commit oneself to too many projects, to want to help everyone in everything, is to succumb to the violence of modern times.”
Psychic Diseases
“Hastiness and superficiality are the psychic diseases of the 20th century, and more than anywhere else this disease is reflected in the press.”
Leading or Following?
“The problem with most people is that they are playing the most unrewarding game on Earth – Follow the Follower.”
A Bridge Between Old & New
“Man is something that shall be overcome. Man is a rope, tied between beast and over man – a rope over an abyss.What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end. But it is the same with man as with the tree. The more he seeks to rise into the height and light, the more vigorously do his roots struggle earthward, downward, into the dark, the deep – into evil.”
Appearances and Thoughts
“Isn’t it amazing how people care more about how they look (appearances), than they do about how they think (cognition). Not to mention that we tend to value others opinions of ourselves more than our own opinions of who we are. Become a friend to yourself. It will be the longest relationship you have with anybody in your life.”
-R.B. Royal
We Are All a Little Bit Crazy
“All people are crazy at some point in time.”
-Y. Emma Siafa
