Book: Magic mountain
I protest against this libel on the modern state, slander, if it means the satanic enslavement of personality! The third time, protesting, protesting against a painful dilemma - presscente or medieval reaction - you want to impose on us. The meaning of democracy in individualistic amendment to the absolutism of the state, any state. Truth and justice - most precious jewels of personal morality, and even though they are in other cases in conflict with the interests of the state, gaining visibility to hostile forces, but in reality they pursue higher, I'm not afraid to say it: the spiritual good of the state! The Renaissance marked the beginning of the deification of the state! Woeful logic! Conquest - I deliberately emphasize the etymological sense of the word - the conquest of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment is, sir, the emancipation of the individual, human rights, freedom.

Duel is the last means, a return to a primitive state, only slightly mellowed some of the rules of chivalry, but mellowed very superficially. It remains the main point of the primitive physical combat, and every man, no matter how he was far from the natural beginning, if it comes to that, it has to be on top. And he may any day get into that position. Someone who is not able to defend its ideals by force of his personality, with his own hand, his blood, he is unworthy of it; the main thing was that with all the spirituality to be brave and courageous.

After all, when I say only the eye, they appeal to "you", even if the lip never said "you".

Like time, space produces oblivion; it achieves this by freeing man from the usual connections with everyday life, transferring it to some initial arbitrary condition, and even the pedant and Philistine suddenly able to turn into a drifter.

Oh, love is nothing if not madness, of folly, if it is not forbidden if the fear of bad. Otherwise, she's just sweet vulgarity, fit to serve as a theme for the innocent songs...

I hope you have nothing against malice? I think she's the most brilliant weapons of reason against darkness and ugliness. Anger, sir, is the soul of criticism, and criticism is the source of development and education.

To wait means to overtake, means to feel time and the present not as a gift, as an obstacle, so, rejecting their self-worth, to abolish them spiritually as if using them to jump over it. It is said that when the waiting time stretches. However - and this is probably closer to the truth - it flies even faster, because waiting to swallow large masses of time not using them and not living for their own sake.

Any coherent judgments, not one of abstract thought man is not without the Express order not to give himself away, unconsciously not to put all your "I" not to transfer symbolically the leitmotif and the original problem throughout his life.

The time is not the same as on the station clock where the big hand with a jerk and said immediately preceding five minutes, but rather like tiny clocks, when the movement of the arrow remains elusive or is, when invisible to the eye the grass grows, although secretly she still grows, and one day it becomes obvious.

In fact, time is not divided into segments at the onset of a new month or year not burst into a thunderstorm, no thunder pipes and even the advent of the new century say the only people shooting guns and ringing bells.
