“Beauty will save the world.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Idiot

“...For that matter, men are perhaps indifferent to power.... What fascinates them in this idea, you see, is not real power, it's the illusion of being able to do exactly as they please. The king's power is the power to govern, isn't it? But man has no urge to govern--he has an urge to compel, as you said. To be more than a man, in a world of men. To escape man's fate, I was saying. Not powerful--all-powerful. The visionary disease, of which the will to power is only the intellectual justification, is the will to god-head--every man dreams of being god.”
― André Malraux, Man's Fate

“Vă e teamă de consecinţele grave ale actelor dumneavoastră şi atunci inventaţi o morală sau o filosofie prin care vă puteţi dispensa de ele.”
― Mircea Eliade, Huliganii

“Besides, nowadays, almost all capable people are terribly afraid of being ridiculous, and are miserable because of it.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
