Marcus Aurelius
“At dawn, when you have trouble getting out of bed, tell yourself: “I have to go to work — as a human being. What do I have to complain of, if I’m going to do what I was born for — the things I was brought into the world to do? Or is this what I was created for? To huddle under the blankets and stay warm?”

So you were born to feel “nice”? Instead of doing things and experiencing them? Don’t you see the plants, the birds, the ants and spiders and bees going about their individual tasks, putting the world in order, as best they can? And you’re not willing to do your job as a human being? Why aren’t you running to do what your nature demands?

You don’t love yourself enough. Or you’d love your nature too, and what it demands of you.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

William Golding
“I think women are foolish to pretend they are equal to men. They are far superior and always have been. Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she will give you a baby. If you give her a house, she will give you a home. If you give her groceries, she will give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she will give you her heart. She multiples and enlarges whatever is given to her. So if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit!”
William Golding

Steve  Bates
“Sir, what’s wrong?”
“I just lost my wife.”
“Bummer. I’ve got a couple of minutes. I’ll be glad to help you look for her.”
Steve Bates, Back To You

Friedrich Nietzsche
“Is this modern world of ours a rising civilization or an exhausted one? Its trouble and complexity are caused by the highest form of consciousness. 73 Overwork, curiosity and sympathy – our modern vices.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, The Will to Power

Robert Thier
“A man.
A really manly man with a lot of mannishness in his manliness.”
Robert Thier, Storm and Silence
