One of Dana's favorite quotes is:""He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man." - Dr. Samuel Johnson
Though much is taken, much abides; and though / We are not now that strength which in old days / Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are - / One equal temper of heroic hearts, / Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will / To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
- Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Ulysses
For believe me: the secret for harvesting from existence the greatest fruitfulness and greatest enjoyment is - to live dangerously.
- Nietzsche, Gay Science
"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." - Oscar Wilde
"Madness is rare in individuals - but in groups, parties, nations, and ages it is the rule." - Nietzsche
"To live alone one must be a beast or a god, says Aristotle. ...Expand for more
Leaving out the third case: one must be both - a philosopher." - Friedrich Nietzsche
"As a general rule, people, even the wicked, are much more naive and simple-hearted than we suppose. And we ourselves are, too." - Dostoevsky
"But patience, kindness, resignation, integrity and impartial justice are goods that we can take with us and that we can accumulate continually without fear that death itself can rob us of their value. It is to this one useful study that I devote what remains of my old age. And I shall be happy if by my own self-improvement I learn to leave life, not better, for that is impossible, but more virtuous than when I entered it." - Rousseau
Not less because in purple I descended
The western day through what you called
The loneliest air, not less was I myself.
What was the ointment sprinkled on my beard?
What were the hymns that buzzed beside my ears?
What was the sea whose tide swept through me there?
Out of my mind the golden ointment rained,
And my ears made the blowing hymns they heard.
I was myself the compass of that sea:
I was the world in which I walked, and what I saw
Or heard or felt came not but from myself;
And there I found myself more truly and more strange.
- Wallace Stevens, Tea at the Palaz of Hoon".
