Irvin D. Yalom
“Nietzsche’s message to us was to live life in such a way that we would be willing to repeat the same life eternally.”
Irvin D. Yalom, The Schopenhauer Cure

Nikos Kazantzakis
“Ό,τι δεν συνέβη ποτέ, είναι ό,τι δεν ποθήσαμε αρκετά.”
Νίκος Καζαντζάκης

Irvin D. Yalom
“The flower replied: You fool! Do you imagine I blossom in order to be seen? I blossom for my own sake because it pleases me, and not for the sake of others. My joy consists in my being and my blossoming.”
Irvin D. Yalom, The Schopenhauer Cure

N.H. Kleinbaum
“We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?" Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?”
N.H. Kleinbaum, Dead Poets Society

Irvin D. Yalom
“Live right, he reminded himself, and have faith that good things will flow from you even if you never learn of them.”
Irvin D. Yalom, The Schopenhauer Cure
