“I allow no one to pass muster as knowing that book, unless every single word therein has at some time wrought in him a profound wound, and at some time exercised on him a profound enchantment: then and not till then can he enjoy the privilege of participating reverently in the halcyon element, from which that work is born, in its sunny brilliance, its distance, its spaciousness, its certainty”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, The Genealogy of Morals

“Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”

“That which does not make a man worse than he was, also does not make his life worse, nor does it harm him either from without or from within.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

“Consider that everything which happens, happens justly, and if thou observest carefully, thou wilt find it to be so. I do not say only with respect to the continuity of the series of things, but with respect to what is just, and as if it were done by one who assigns to each thing its value. Observe then as thou hast begun; and whatever thou doest, do it in conjunction with this, the being good, and in the sense in which a man is properly understood to be good. Keep to this in every action.”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
