Seneca
“We suffer more often in imagination than in reality”
Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Seneca
“What need is there to weep over parts of life? The whole of it calls for tears.”
Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Jim Carrey
“I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer.”
Jim Carrey

Marcus Aurelius
“When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: the people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and surly. They are like this because they can't tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own - not of the same blood and birth, but the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine. And so none of them can hurt me. No one can implicate me in ugliness. Nor can I feel angry at my relative, or hate him. We were born to work together like feet, hands and eyes, like the two rows of teeth, upper and lower. To obstruct each other is unnatural. To feel anger at someone, to turn your back on him: these are unnatural.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Friedrich Nietzsche
“Man muss noch Chaos in sich haben, um einen tanzenden Stern gebären zu können. (You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.)”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra
