Every peasant has a lawyer inside of him, just as every lawyer, no matter how urbane he may be, carries a peasant within himself Picture Quote #1

Little can be hoped for from a ruler... Who has not at some time or other been preoccupied, even if only confusedly, with the first beginning and ultimate end of all things, and above all of man, with the why of his origin and the wherefore of his destiny Picture Quote #1

Apart from the fact there is no normal standard of health, nobody has proved that man is necessarily cheerful by nature. And further, man, by the very fact of being man, of possessing consciousness, is, in comparison with the ass or the crab, a diseased animal. Consciousness is a disease Picture Quote #1

And love, above all when it struggles against destiny, overwhelms us with the feeling of the vanity of this world of appearances and gives us a glimpse of another world, in which destiny is overcome and liberty is law Picture Quote #1

The wretched consciousness shrinks from it own annihilation, and just as an animal spirit newly severed from the womb of the world, finds itself confronted with the world and knows itself distinct from it, so consciousness must needs desire to possess another life than that of the world itself Picture Quote #1

I am the center of my universe, the center of the universe, and in my supreme anguish I cry with Michelet, Mon moi, ils m'arrachent mon moi! What is a man profited if he shall gain the world and lose his own soul? Picture Quote #1

Faith feels itself secure neither with universal consent, nor with tradition, nor with authority. It seeks support of its enemy, reason Picture Quote #1

And if it is grievous to be doomed one day to cease to be, perhaps it would be more grievous still to go on being always oneself, and no more than oneself, without being able to be at the same time other, without being able to be at the same time everything else, without being able to be all Picture Quote #1

But the capacity to enjoy is impossible without the capacity to suffer; and the faculty of enjoyment is one with that of pain. Whosoever does not suffer does not enjoy, just as whosoever is insensible to cold is insensible to heat Picture Quote #1

Uncertainty, doubt, perpetual wrestling with the mystery of our final destiny, mental despair, and the lack of any solid and stable foundation, may be the basis of an ethic Picture Quote #1

If it is nothingness that awaits us, let us make an injustice of it; let us fight against destiny, even though without hope of victory Picture Quote #1

Those who believe that they believe in God, but without passion in their hearts, without anguish in mind, without uncertainty, without doubt, without an element of despair even in their consolation, believe in the God idea, not God himself Picture Quote #1

The problem with the loneliness I suffer is that the company of others has never been a cure for it Picture Quote #1

No one who ever wants praise will be satisfied with praise, the person who wants love cannot be satisfied with love. No want is ever fulfilled. And therefore I still don't know whether it is better to fear God and keep His commandments or to curse God and die Picture Quote #1

However sugarcoated and ambiguous, every form of authoritarianism must start with a belief in some group's greater right to power, whether that right is justified by sex, race, class, religion or all four. However far it may expand, the progression inevitably rests on unequal power and airtight roles within the family Picture Quote #1

For women... Bras, panties, bathing suits, and other stereotypical gear are visual reminders of a commercial, idealized feminine image that our real and diverse female bodies can't possibly fit. Without these visual references, each individual woman's body demands to be accepted on its own terms. We stop being comparatives. We begin to be unique Picture Quote #1
