"Kant views humans as ends in themselves, rational beings deserving respect. Only act in ways you’d want everyone to act, as treating people as mere means violates their dignity. We can reason and make deliberate choices, unlike other sentient beings. True moral action requires autonomy; universal law means acting from reason, not heteronomy.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​" 21 hours, 31 min ago

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“As a general rule, people, even the wicked, are much more naive and simple-hearted than we supposed. And we ourselves are, too.”
Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

Ernst Jünger
“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

Friedrich Nietzsche
“I dislike him.”—Why?—“I am not a match for him.”—Did any one ever answer so?”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil

Thomas Pynchon
“Somewhere beyond the battening, urged sweep of three-bedroom houses rushing by their thousands across all the dark beige hills, somehow implicit in an arrogance or bite to the smog the more inland somnolence of San Narciso did lack, lurked the sea, the unimaginable Pacific, the one to which all surfers, beach pads, sewage disposal schemes, tourist incursions, sunned homosexuality, chartered fishing are irrelevant, the hole left by the moon’s tearing-free and monument to her exile; you could not hear or even smell this but it was there, something tidal began to reach feelers in past eyes and eardrums, perhaps to arouse fractions of brain current your most gossamer microelectrode is yet too gross for finding.”
Thomas Pynchon, The Crying of Lot 49

Friedrich Nietzsche
“74. A man of genius is unbearable, unless he possess at least two things besides: gratitude and purity.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil
