Roland Barthes
“Language is neither reactionary nor progressive; it is quite simply fascist; for fascism does not prevent speech, it compels speech.”
Roland Barthes, The Neutral: Lecture Course at the Collège de France, 1977-1978

Søren Kierkegaard
“There is something spectral about me - and this is both the good and the bad in me - something that makes it impossible for anyone to endure having to see me every day and thus have a real relationship with me. Of course, in the light cloak in which I generally show myself, it is another matter. But at home it would be noted that I fundamentally dwell in a spirit world. I had been engaged to her for 1 year, and she did not really know me. - So she would have been shattered. In turn, she would probably have made a mess of me, for I was constantly overstraining myself with her because in a certain sense reality was too light. I was too heavy for her, and she was too light for me, but both can truly lead to overstraining myself.”
Søren Kierkegaard, Kierkegaard's Journals and Notebooks, Volume 6: Journals NB11 - NB14

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“In the realm of ideas, everything depends on enthusiasm. ... In the real world, all rests on perseverance.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Rainer Maria Rilke
“One must never despair upon losing something, whether it is an individual or an experience of joy or happiness; everything returns even more magnificently. What has to decline, declines; what belongs to us, stays with us, for everything works according to laws that are greater than our capacity for understanding and that only seem to contradict us. You have to live within yourself and think of all of life, all of its millions of possibilities, openings, and futures in relation to which there exists nothing that is past or has been lost.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, The Poet's Guide to Life: The Wisdom of Rilke

Marcel Proust
“Illness is the most heeded of doctors: to kindness and wisdom we make promises only; pain we obey.”
Marcel Proust, Sodom and Gomorrah
