Friedrich Nietzsche
“To be unable to take his enemies, his misfortunes and even his misdeeds seriously for long – that is the sign of strong, rounded natures with a superabundance of a power which is flexible, formative, healing and can make one forget...A man like this shakes from him, with one shrug, many worms which would have burrowed into another man...”
Friedrich Nietzsche, On the Genealogy of Morals

Friedrich Nietzsche
“There is so much in man that is horrifying!..
The world has been a madhouse for too long!...”
Friedrich Nietzsche, On the Genealogy of Morals

G.K. Chesterton
“The disadvantage of men not knowing the past is that they do not know the present.”
G.K. Chesterton

Herman Melville
“Be sure of this, O young ambition, all mortal greatness is but a disease.”
Herman Melville, Moby-Dick or, The Whale

G.K. Chesterton
“The man who is most likely to ruin the place he loves is exactly the man who loves it with a reason. The man who will improve the place is the man who loves it without a reason...I do not deny that reform may be excessive; I only say that it is the mystic patriot who reforms. Mere jingo self-contentment is commonest among those who have some pedantic reason for their patriotism. The worst jingoes do not love England, but a theory of England. If we love England for being an empire, we may overrate the success with which we rule the Hindoos. But if we love it only for being a nation, we can face all events: for it would be a nation even if the Hindoos ruled us. Thus also only those will permit their patriotism to falsify history whose patriotism depends on history. A man who loves England for being English will not mind how she arose...”
G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy
