A self-imposed double obligation was formed, firstly to use my skills for the betterment of other people, and secondly to justify the existence of my mother. I was beginning to put shape on my future.

Viktor E. Frankl
“To be sure, man’s search for meaning may arouse inner tension rather than inner equilibrium. However, precisely such tension is an indispensable prerequisite of mental health.”
Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

Frank Herbert
“A world is supported by four things... the learning of the wise, the justice of the great, the prayers of the righteous and the valor of the brave. But all of these are as nothing...without a ruler who knows the art of ruling.”
Frank Herbert, Dune

Johan Harstad
“Mens zijn is een fulltime baan, max”
Johan Harstad

Will Durant
“Spinoza is not to be read, he is to be studied; you must approach him as you would approach Euclid, recognizing that in these brief two hundred pages a man has written down his lifetime's thought with stoic sculptury of everything superfluous.”
Will Durant, The Story of Philosophy: The Lives and Opinions of the World's Greatest Philosophers

Roger Scruton
“Spinoza wrote the last indisputable Latin masterpiece, and one in which the refined conceptions of medieval philosophy are finally turned against themselves and destroyed entirely. He chose a single word from that language for his device: caute – ‘be cautious’ – inscribed beneath a rose, the symbol of secrecy. For, having chosen to write in a language that was so widely intelligible, he was compelled to hide what he had written.”
Roger Scruton, Spinoza: A Very Short Introduction
