Ralph Waldo Emerson
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Arthur Schopenhauer
“The assumption that animals are without rights and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality.”
Arthur Schopenhauer, The Basis of Morality

T.S. Eliot
“For us, there is only the trying. The rest is not our business.”
T.S. Eliot

Arthur Schopenhauer
“Talent hits a target no one else can hit. Genius hits a target no one else can see.”
Arthur Schopenhauer

Joan Didion
“I think we are well advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not.

Joan Didion, Slouching Towards Bethlehem
