― Friedrich Nietzsche

“The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die. As well the minds which are prevented from changing their opinions; they cease to be mind.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche

“Por que se gosta de um autor? Gosta-se de um autor quando, ao lê-lo, tem-se a experiência de comunhão. Arte é isso: comunicar aos outros nossa identidade íntima com eles. Ao lê-lo eu me leio, melhor me entendo. Somos do mesmo sangue, companheiros no mesmo mundo. Não importa que o autor já tenha morrido há séculos... [...] Nasci neste tempo, mas minha alma ficou num lugar do passado que eu muito amei.”
― Rubem Alves, Ostra feliz não faz pérola

“Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality. No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him. By his love he is enabled to see the essential traits and features in the beloved person; and even more, he sees that which is potential in him, which is not yet actualized but yet ought to be actualized. Furthermore, by his love, the loving person enables the beloved person to actualize these potentialities. By making him aware of what he can be and of what he should become, he makes these potentialities come true.”
― Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning
