Alyosha’s Quotes

“I live not in myself, but I become Portion of that around me; and to me High mountains are a feeling.”
― Arthur Schopenhauer, Works of Arthur Schopenhauer

“I respect kindness in human beings first of all, and kindness to animals. I don't respect the law; I have a total irreverence for anything connected with society except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper and the old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer.”
― Brendan Behan

“Precisely because a human being has the ability to speak, for this very reason the ability to keep silent is an art; and precisely because this advantage of his tempts him so easily, the ability to keep silent is a great art.”
― Søren Kierkegaard, The Lily of the Field and the Bird of the Air: Three Godly Discourses

“The bird keeps silent and suffers. However much heartache it has, it keeps silent. It does not complain; it accuses no one; it sighs only to fall silent again. The bird is not free from suffering, but the silent bird frees itself from what makes the suffering more burdensome: from the misunderstood sympathy of others; frees itself from what makes the suffering last longer: from all the talk of suffering; frees itself from what makes the suffering into something worse than suffering: from the sin of impatience and sadness.”
― Søren Kierkegaard, The Lily of the Field and the Bird of the Air: Three Godly Discourses
