Quotes

  • Дина Кравченкоhas quoted9 years ago
    But I can’t put the chances of any real opposition to the idea of war higher than zero. It takes far more courage for a man to oppose an organisation than to go along with the crowd. Standing up to it calls for individualism, and individualists are a dying species in these times of progressive organisation and mechanisation.

    If you are experiencing nothing yourself, the passionate restlessness of others stimulates the nervous system like music or drama.

    Forbidden fruit excites a craving, only what is forbidden stimulates desire, and the less the eyes saw and the ears heard the more minds dreamt.
