Quote from Slavoj Žižek
Cinema is the ultimate pervert art. It doesn’t give you what you desire – it tells you how to desire.

Quote from Chitralekha Paul, Delayed Monsoon
Marriage can be made to work if both the partners can see beyond themselves and understand the limitations,needs and abilities of the other person and are willing to embrace the positive and negative aspects of each other in their understanding.But it never happens that way. We expect others to understand and comply with us while we fail to do the same.Thus marriage loses all it’s sheen by the time the couple reaches middle age.

Quote from Robert C. Solomon
J’ai lu les postmodernistes avec un certain intérêt avec même admiration. Mais quand je les lis, j’ai toujours cet horrible sentiment lancinant que quelque chose d’absolument essentiel est oublié. Plus on dit qu’une personne est un produit social, ou un confluent de forces ou fragmentée, ou marginalisée et plus on ouvre tout un nouveau monde d’excuses.

I’m not superstitious. I’m a witch. Witches aren’t superstitious. We are what people are superstitious of.

Quote from Carl von Clausewitz
Our knowledge of circumstances has increased, but our uncertainty, instead of having diminished, has only increased. The reason of this is, that we do not gain all our experience at once, but by degrees; so our determinations continue to be assailed incessantly by fresh experience; and the mind, if we may use the expression, must always be under arms.

The highest activity a human being can attain is learning for understanding, because to understand is to be free.

Quote from Яков Голосовкер, Сказания о титанах
И явился Зевс Асклепию таким, каким являлся титанам в битве: огромный, со страшилищем-эгидой на груди и перуном в руке, средь громов и молний. Притихло все живое в лесах и горах Пелиона, укрываясь от блеска и грохота громовых ударов.А мальчик-бог сказал:- Мне не страшно. Не сжег ты меня блеском своей славы. Ты только бог и не больше. А мир огромно-большой, и мысль Хирона больше тебя, владыки Олимпа.Удивился Молниевержец, свергающий в тартар титанов, отваге мальчика-бога.
