Henri Frederic Amiel
The great majority of men are but tangled skeins, imperfect keyboards, so many specimens of restless or stagnant chaos--and what makes their situation almost hopeless is the fact that they take pleasure in it. There is no curing a sick man who believes himself in health.

Everything you need for better future and success has already been written. And guess what? All you have to do is go to the library.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Sacrifice, which is the passion of great souls, has never been the law of societies.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Every situation is an equilibrium of forces every life is a struggle between opposing forces working within the limits of a certain equilibrium
