“Real liberation comes not from glossing over or repressing painful states of feeling, but only from experiencing them to the full.”

I was conscious all the time that I was following mad whims without being able to do anything about it …. Despite my alienation from myself at that moment, and even though I was nothing but a battleground for invisible forces, I was aware of every detail of what was going on around me.

“Do not forget, some give little, and it is much for them, others give all, and it costs them no effort; who then has given most?”

[freelance-philosopher]

Genius is its own reward; for the best that one is, one must necessarily be for oneself… Further, genius consists in the working of the free intellect, and as a consequence the productions of genius serve no useful purpose. The work of genius may be music, philosophy, painting, or poetry; it is nothing for use or profit. To be useless and unprofitable is one of the characteristics of genius; it is their patent of nobility.

Arthur Schopenhauer (via freelance-philosopher)

We quickly understood one another and became chums, because I am incapable of friendship: of two friends, one is always the other’s slave, although often neither will admit to this.

Pechorin, A Hero of Our Time by Mikhail Lermontov (via amartian)

It’s too bad stupidity isn’t painful.

I crawled back into myself all alone, just delighted to observe that I was even more miserable than before, because I had brought a new kind of distress and something that resembled true feeling into my solitude.

To be now a sensible man, by and by a fool, and presently a beast! Oh, strange! Every inordinate cup is unblessed and the ingredient is a devil.
