Jenseits Aller Quotes

#1. We are thankful to have someone who really accept the bad things about us,
and sometimes we hurt them but they never give up on us. #Quote by Aina Aller

#2. It is a prejudice - someone said - to believe
That after one comes two;
It is a prejudice to believe that what occurs
Draws its occurrence from a cause.
The right way to think is without presuppositions, they believe -
In that case, the rider can give away his horse!

It lies in the deep substance of all things
That each one sings the praise of its archetype.
--------
Ein Vorurteil - so meinte jemand - sei
Zu glauben, nach dem Eins komme das Zwei;
Es sei ein Vorurteil, dass, was geschieht,
Aus einer Ursach sein Geschehen zieht.
Voraussetzungslos sei das rechte Denken -
Dann kann der Reiter seinen Gaul verschenken!

Es liegt im tiefsten Wesen aller Dinge,
Dass jedes seines Urbilds Loblied singe. #Quote by Frithjof Schuon

#3. Das Bedürfnis, Leiden beredt werden zu lassen, ist Bedingung aller Wahrheit.

(The need to lend a voice to suffering [literally: "to let suffering be eloquent"] is the condition of all truth) #Quote by Theodor W. Adorno

#4. No man demands what he desires; each man demands what he fancies he can get. Soon people forget what the man really wanted first; and after a successful and vigorous political life, he forgets it himself. The whole is an extravagant riot of second bests, a pandemonium of pis-aller. #Quote by G.K. Chesterton

#5. passions without truth, truths without passion; heroes without heroic deeds, history without events; development, whose sole driving force seems to be the calendar, wearying with constant repetition of the same tensions and relaxations; antagonisms that periodically seem to work themselves up to a climax only to lose their sharpness and fall away without being able to resolve themselves; pretentiously paraded exertions and philistine terror at the danger of the world's coming to an end, and at the same time the pettiest intrigues and court comedies played by the world redeemers, who in their laisser aller remind us less of the Day of Judgment than of the times of the Fronde – the official collective genius of France brought to naught by the artful stupidity of a single individual; the collective will of the nation, as often as it speaks through universal suffrage, seeking its appropriate expression through the inveterate enemies of the interests of the masses, until at length it finds it in the self-will of a filibuster. If any section of history has been painted gray on gray, it is this. #Quote by Karl Marx

#6. Rivers are roads that move and carry us whither we wish to go.
[Fr., Les rivieres sont des chemins qui marchant et qui portent ou l'on veut aller.] #Quote by Blaise Pascal
