[quotelr]

Existence is Identity, Consciousness is Identification.

Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

[eternal--returned]

Italy is a country which is willing to submit itself to the worst governments. It is, as we know, a country ruled by disorder, cynicism, incompetence and confusion. Nevertheless, we are aware of intelligence circulating in the streets like a vivid bloodstream. This is an intelligence which is clearly useless. It is not used to benefit any institution that might to some extent improve the human condition. All the same, it warms and consoles the heart, even if this is an illusory comfort and perhaps a foolish one.

Natalia Ginzburg ֍ The Little Virtues (1962)

Light travels halfway around the world while darkness is still putting its shoes on.

[quotessentially]

From Immanuel Kant’s Doctrine of Virtue

[philosophybits]

Act like the person you are, not the way they make you act.... Noble people shouldn’t have even an atom of baseness. Nobility scorns villainy. You should be able to boast that if gallantry, generosity, and faith were lost in the world, they could be found again in your own breast.

Baltasar Gracián, The Art of Worldly Wisdom
