#limitation

[philosophybits]

To achieve great things, we must be self-confined: mastery is revealed in limitation.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Selected Poetry

“In life, I was locked into social boundaries, and after death they only became stronger…”

«При жизни я была заперта в социальных рамках, а после смерти они только лишь усилились…»

"Nothing that has ever been said has been quite so absurd as the claim made by some of the artists and aesthetes and Neo-Pagans some little while ago to the effect that one ought to develop every part of one’s self and sacrifice nothing. A man must sacrifice something in order to be anything. Every shape means an outline, and every outline means a limit. If I am made King I sacrifice the post of Secretary to the Admiralty. If I live in Rome I sacrifice a rich, suggestive life in Pimlico. “I will sacrifice nothing of myself,” said the block of marble. But the sculptor only laughed and made an Apollo."

— G.K. Chesterton: The Daily News (1904/09/01)

[thepersonalquotes]

Never, ever, let anyone tell you what you can and can't do. Prove the cynics wrong. Pity them for they have no imagination. The sky's the limit. Your sky. Your limit. Now. Let's dance.

Tom Hiddleston
