― Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil

“Nonsense! That is... I am drunk like a fool, but that’s not it; I am not drunk from wine. It’s seeing you has turned my head...”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Crime and Punishment

“Abbiamo bisogno di tempo. Di mettere tempo fra noi. Di vivere insieme, di viaggiare insieme, perché il nostro pensiero riconosca istintivamente l'altro; e lo riconosca come una presenza automatica di consuetudine e di affetto. Abbiamo bisogno di molto tempo per accettare la brutalità del fatto di non essere più soli.”
― Pier Vittorio Tondelli, Camere separate

“Throughout the war, it was always my endeavour to view my opponent without animus, and to form an opinion of him as a man on the basis of the courage he showed. I would always try and seek him out in combat and kill him, and I expected nothing else from him. But never did I entertain mean thoughts of him. When prisoners fell into my hands, later on, I felt responsible for their safety, and would always do everything in my power for them.”
― Ernst Jünger, Storm of Steel
