As A Rule, All Heroism Is Due

When People Complain Of Life, It Is Almost Always Because They Have Asked Impossible Things Of It.

You May Take Great Comfort From The Fact That Suffering Inwardly For The Sake Of Truth Proves Abundantly That One Loves It And Marks One Out As Being Of The Elect.

Morality Has Been Conceived Up To The Present In A Very Narrow Spirit, As Obedience To A Law, As Inner Struggle Between Opposite Laws. As For Me, I Declare That When I Do Good I Obey No One, I Fight No Battle And Win No Victory. The Cultivated Person Has Only To Follow The Delicious Incline Of His Or Her Inner Impulses. Be Beautiful And Then Do At Each Moment Whatever Your Heart May Inspire You To Do. This Is The Whole Of Morality.

He Whom God Has Touched Will Always Be A Being Apart: He Is, Whatever He May Do, A Stranger Among Men; He Is Marked By A Sign.

The Epic Disappeared Along With The Age Of Personal Heroism; There Can Be No Epic With Artillery.
