Appearance should never attain reality,
And if nature conquers, then must art retire.
--
To Goethe, when he put Voltaire's Mahomet on the stage (1800).Friedrich von Schiller
» Friedrich von Schiller - all quotes »
It [love] conquers nihilism and pessimism/Suicide and self-annihilation./ It conquers its own death. /It is the spark of fire that kindles life forever.
Kuruvilla Pandikattu
Where do you want to live? When you reach your fifties and sixties and you retire, if you remain in the city you will become suffocated. Eventually you will have to travel to the ideal village which we have established and spend the rest of your life with nature and contribute as much as possible. Breathe and mingle with nature. Then end your life with nature and go and join God in the spiritual world. That will become the course of your life.
Sun Myung Moon
Most of western culture is a distortion of reality. But reality should be distorted; that is, imaginatively amended. The Buddhist acquiescence to nature is neither accurate about nature nor just to human potential.
Camille Paglia
Appearance is not reality, except in Washington.
Mark Riebling
Retire into thyself. The rational principle which rules has this nature, that it is content with itself when it does what is just, and so secures tranquility.
Marcus Aurelius
