#marcus aurelius
What is worse than not being loved? Knowing that no one loves you.
new favorite marcus aurelius quote is the one where he’s like “no matter how good of a person you are there will still be people who are happy you died” like thank you marcus i feel better now
“If an action or utterance is appropriate, then it’s appropriate for you. Don’t be put off by other people’s comments and criticism. If it’s right to say or do it, then it’s the right thing for you to do or say.”— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations (5.3)
“How much time he gains who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does or thinks, but only at what he does himself.”—Marcus Aurelius,Meditations
“External things are not the problem. It’s your assessment of them. Which you can erase right now.”— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations (8.47)
“There are external obstacles… but if you accept the obstacle and work with what you’re given, an alternative will present itself — another piece of what you’re trying to assemble. Action by action.”— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations (8.32)

“The opinion of 10,000 men is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject.”

— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
This one hit different today.
“One day we’ll all end up being a forgotten conversation or archived chat on someone’s phone after we pass away.
Until that person also passes away and his phone’s battery finally runs out, clearing its memory and with that the memory of us..
We’re only here on lended time
Enjoy that time and live it well.”

mimarlar ne gerek sana, tek bir marangoz yeter. çünkü yeni bir saraya değil, bir çukura gitmektesin.
brecht - kafkas tebeşir dairesi
yığınla bilgileri ona zeka bahşetmedi.
umberto eco - antik yunan
sevgisi vasattır, vasatı aranır durur. ama nefreti dahiyanedir. nefreti seni beni herkesi öldürebilecek kadar dahiyanedir.
bukowski - en kısa andır mucize
onlar inanır ama ilgilenmez; ben ilgilenirim, ama inanmam.
alberto manguel - borges'in evinde
ne diye bocalıyorsun, ah ruhum? niçin sırılsıklam yanakların gözyaşlarından
seneca - medeia
benzer şekilde, sokrates'in çirkin bir yüz ve beden içinde güzel bir ruhu vardır. görünüşü onun gerçek doğasına uymaz. sahte görünüşler ile hakiki gerçeklik arasındaki çatışmayı gösterir.
