A small collection of quotes that peek my interest


Abu Nuwas

> Give me some wine to drink in public, then fuck me from behind.


Alfred Adler

> The problem of homosexuality hovers over society like a ghost or a scarecrow. In spite of all the condemnation, the number of perverts seems to be on the increase. . . . Neither the harshest penalties nor the most conciliatory attitudes and most lenient sentences have any effect on the development of this abnormality.


Aquinas

> Donde o dever-se admitir que a multidão e a distinção das coisas vêm da intenção do agente primeiro, Deus. Pois, trouxe as coisas ao ser, para comunicar a sua bondade às criaturas, que a representam. E, como esta não pode ser representada suficientemente por uma só criatura, produziu muitas e diversas; e assim o que falta a uma, para representar a divina bondade, é suprido por outra. Pois, a bondade, existente em Deus pura e simplesmente, bem como uniformemente, existe nas criaturas multíplice e divididamente. Por onde, com mais perfeição participa da divina bondade e a representa todo o universo do que outra criatura qualquer. – E por ser a divina sabedoria a causa da distinção das coisas, diz Moisés que as coisas são distintas pelo Verbo de Deus, que é a concepção da sabedoria; e isso mesmo diz a Escritura (Gn 1, 3): E disse Deus: Faça-se a luz... E dividiu a luz das trevas.


Brasil de Fato

Francisco de Goya

> El sueño de la razón produce monstruos

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

> Deprived of meaningful work men and women lose their reason for existence they go stark raving mad


G.K Chesterton

> It's terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged


George Orwell

> When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink. In our age there is no such thing as ‘keeping out of politics’. All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia. When the general atmosphere is bad, language must suffer.


Giovanni Pico della Mirandola

> quid in hac quasi mundana scena admirandum maxime spectaretur, nihil spectari homine admirabilius respondisse.

John von Neumann

> There probably is a God. Many things are easier to explain if there is than if there isn't.


Justin Sledge

> A criticism that takes a thinker radically serious in its own terms is radically superior than superficial fanboyism - Authentic criticism is almost always an act of admiration


Kinsley

> The world is not to be divided into sheep and goats. Not all things are black nor all things white. It is a fundamental of taxonomy that nature rarely deals with discrete categories. Only the human mind invents categories and tries to force facts into separated pigeon-holes. The living world is a continuum in each and every one of its aspects.


Lady Gaga

> Social Media is the toilet of the internet


Leon Trotsky

> Life is beautiful. Let the future generations cleanse it of all evil, oppression and violence, and enjoy it to the full.


Maria Rilke

> Don't be too quick to draw conclusions from what happens to you; simply let it happen. Otherwise it will be too easy for you to look with blame at your past, which naturally has a share with everything that now meets you


Mark Kingwell

> The interface is a timeless drug, an endless addiction with no relation to real past and real future, let alone what we might still venture to call actual purpose


Martin Heidegger

> To think is to heed the essential


Muhammad

> The one who loves passionately and be chaste and then dies is a martyr


Oscar Wilde

> The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it


Paul Feyerabend

> Progress has always been achieved by probing well-entrenched and well-founded forms of life with unpopular and unfounded values. This is how man gradually freed himself from fear and from the tyranny of unexamined systems.


Pseudo-Jung

> Any state of consciousness which can be achieved using drugs, can be achieved through meditation


Robespierre

Scott Galloway

> Compassion is not a zero sum game


Umberto Eco

> I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.
