Sin makes its own hell, and goodness its own heaven.
~~~~~~~
Social values in general are incrementally variable: neither safety, diversity, rational articulation, nor morality is categorically a good thing to have more of, without limits. All are subject to diminishing returns, and ultimately negative returns.
~~~~~~~
Society cannot contribute anything to the breeding and growing of ingenious men. A creative genius cannot be trained. There are no schools for creativeness. A genius is precisely a man who defies all schools and rules, who deviates from the traditional roads of routine and opens up new paths through land inaccessible before. A genius is always a teacher, never a pupil; he is always self-made.
~~~~~~~
Such is human psychology that if we don’t express our joy, we soon cease to feel it.
~~~~~~~
Take man’s most fantastic invention- God. Man invents God in the image of his longings, in the image of what he wants to be, then proceeds to imitate that image, vie with it, and strive to overcome it.
~~~~~~~
That hatred springs more from self-contempt than from a legitimate grievance is seen in the intimate connection between hatred and a guilty conscience.
~~~~~~~
The Americans are poor haters in international affairs because of their innate feeling of superiority over all foreigners. An American’s hatred for a fellow American…is far more virulent than any antipathy he can work up against foreigners…Should Americans begin to hate foreigners wholeheartedly, it will be an indication that they have lost confidence in their own way of life.
~~~~~~~
The awareness of their individual blemishes and shortcomings inclines the frustrated to detect ill will and meanness in their fellow men. Self-contempt, however vague, sharpens our eyes for the imperfections of others. We usually strive to reveal in others the blemishes we hide in ourselves.
~~~~~~~
The burning conviction that we have a holy duty towards others is often a way of attaching our drowning selves to a passing raft. What looks like a giving hand is often a holding on for dear life. Take away our holy duties and you leave our lives puny and meaningless. There is no doubt that in exchanging a self-centered for a selfless life we gain enormously in self-esteem. The vanity of the selfless, even those who practice utmost humility, is boundless.
~~~~~~~
The burning of an author’s books, imprisonment for opinion’s sake, has always been the tribute that an ignorant age pays to the genius of its time.
~~~~~~~
The chief burden of the frustrated is the consciousness of a blemished, ineffectual self, and their chief desire is to slough off the unwanted self and begin a new life. They try to realize this desire either by finding a new identity or by blurring and camouflaging their individual distinctness; and both these ends are reached by imitation.
~~~~~~~
The class of those who have the ability to think their own thoughts is separated by an unbridgeable gulf from the class of those who cannot.
~~~~~~~
The compulsion to take ourselves seriously is in inverse proportion to our creative capacity. When the creative flow dries up, all we have left is our importance.
~~~~~~~
The continuous disasters of man’s history are mainly due to his excessive capacity and urge to become identified with a tribe, nation, church or cause, and to espouse its credo uncritically and enthusiastically, even if its tenets are contrary to reason, devoid of self-interest and detrimental to the claims of self-preservation.We are thus driven to the unfashionable conclusion that the trouble with our species is not an excess of aggression, but an excess capacity for fanatical devotion.
~~~~~~~
The craving to change the world is perhaps a reflection of the craving to change ourselves.
~~~~~~~
The desire to belong is partly a desire to lose oneself.
~~~~~~~
The endeavor to understand is the first and only basis of virtue.
~~~~~~~
The envious man thinks that if his neighbor breaks a leg, he will be able to walk better himself.
~~~~~~~
The envious only hate the excellence they cannot reach.
~~~~~~~
The first step in freeing yourself from social restrictions is the realization that there is no such thing as a safe code of conduct – one that would earn everyone’s approval. Your actions can always be condemned by someone – for being too bold or too apathetic, for being too conformist or too nonconformist, for being too liberal or too conservative. So it’s necessary to decide whose approval is important to you.
