Augustine of Hippo
“Thus, a good man, though a slave, is free; but a wicked man, though a king, is a slave. For he serves, not one man alone, but what is worse, as many masters as he has vices.”
Augustine of Hippo, City of God

Rainer Maria Rilke
“The purpose of life is to be defeated by greater and greater things.”
Rainer Maria Rilke

Jonathan Bowden
“Even the disabled or afflicted can be eugenic if they crawl towards the sun with a knife between their teeth.”
Jonathan Bowden

Oswald Spengler
“We are born into this time and must bravely follow the path to the destined end. There is no other way. Our duty is to hold on to the lost position, without hope, without rescue, like that Roman soldier whose bones were found in front of a door in Pompeii, who, during the eruption of Vesuvius, died at his post because they forgot to relieve him. That is greatness. That is what it means to be a thoroughbred. The honorable end is the one thing that can not be taken from a man.”
Oswald Spengler, Man and Technics: A Contribution to a Philosophy of Life

Plato
“χαλεπὰ τὰ καλά
