Thus Spake Zarathustra    by Friedrich Nietzsche
When Zarathustra was thirty years old, he left his home and the lake of his home, and went into the mountains. There he enjoyed his spirit and solitude, and for ten years did not weary of it.

Human, All-Too-Human    by Friedrich Nietzsche
In almost all respects, philosophical problems today are again formulated as they were two thousand years ago: how can something arise from its opposite

On the Genealogy of Morals    by Friedrich Nietzsche
So all respect to the good spirits that may govern in these historians of morality! But it's certainly a pity that they lack the historical spirit itself, that they've been left in the lurch by all the good spirits of history!

Beyond Good And Evil    by Friedrich Nietzsche
The Will to Truth, which is to tempt us to many a hazardous enterprise, the famous Truthfulness of which all philosophers have hitherto spoken with respect, what questions has this Will to Truth not laid before us! What strange, perplexing, questionable questions!

Metamorphosis    by Friedrich Nietzsche
One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections.

The Birth of Tragedy    by Friedrich Nietzsche
What I managed to seize upon at that time, something fearful and dangerous, was a problem with horns (not necessarily a bull exactly, but in any event a new problem). Today I would state that it was the problem of scholarship itself

On the Use and Abuse of History for Life    by Friedrich Nietzsche
Observe the herd which is grazing beside you. It does not know what yesterday or today is. It springs around, eats, rests, digests, jumps up again, and so from morning to night and from day to day, with its likes and dislikes closely tied to the peg of the moment, and thus neither melancholy nor weary.

The Antichrist    by Friedrich Nietzsche
Let us look each other in the face. We are Hyperboreans -- we know well enough how remote our place is. "Neither by land nor by water will you find the road to the Hyperboreans"

Thoughts out of Season    by Friedrich Nietzsche
But of all evil results due to the last contest with France, the most deplorable, perhaps, is that widespread and even universal error of public opinion and of all who think publicly, that German culture was also victorious in the struggle

And the honor and distinction of the individual consist in this, that he among all the world’s multitudes should become a source of social good. Is any larger bounty conceivable than this, that an individual, looking within himself, should find that by the confirming grace of God he has become the cause of peace and well-being, of happiness and advantage to his fellow men? No, by the one true God, there is no greater bliss, no more complete delight.
-- The Secret of Divine Civilization

Perennial Philosophy    by Aldous Huxely
More than twenty-five centuries have passed since that which has been called the Perennial Philosophy was first committed to writing; and in the course of those centuries it has found expression, now partial, now complete

The Doors of Perception    by Aldous Huxely
Mescalin research has been going on sporadically ever since the days of Lewin and Havelock Ellis. Chemists have not merely isolated the alkaloid; they have learned how to synthesize it

Crome Yellow    by Aldous Huxely
Along this particular stretch of line no express had ever passed. All the trains--the few that there were--stopped at all the stations. Denis knew the names of those stations by heart.

Brave New World    by Aldous Huxely
He waved his hand again, and the Head Nurse pressed a second lever. The screaming of the babies suddenly changed its tone. There was something desperate, almost insane, about the sharp spasmodic yelps to which they now gave utterance.

The Phenomenon Of Man by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

RALPH WALDO EMERSON
(1803-1882)

The Sage of Concord and the intellectual center of the American Renaissance, Ralph Waldo Emerson, as preacher, philosopher, and poet, embodied the finest spirit and highest ideals of his age. A thinker of bold originality, his essays and lectures offer models of clarity, style, and thought, which made him a formidable presence in 19th century American life.

The Young American    by Ralph Waldo Emerson
This rage for road building is beneficent for America, where vast distance is so main a consideration in our domestic politics and trade, inasmuch as the great political promise of the invention is to hold the Union staunch

Uncollected Prose    by Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the history of the Church no subject has been more fruitful of controversy than the Lord's Supper. There never has been any unanimity in the understanding of its nature, nor any uniformity in the mode of celebrating it.

The Transcendentalist    by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The first thing we have to say respecting what are called new views here in New England, at the present time, is, that they are not new, but the very oldest of thoughts cast into the mould of these new times. The light is always identical in its composition, but it falls on a great variety of objects, and by so falling is first revealed to us, not in its own form

Representative Men    by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The search after the great is the dream of youth, and the most serious occupation of manhood. We travel into foreign parts to find his works,--if possible, to get a glimpse of him. But we are put off with fortune instead.

English Traits    by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Mr. Landor carries to its height the love of freak which the English delight to indulge, as if to signalize their commanding freedom. He has a wonderful brain, despotic, violent, and inexhaustible, meant for a soldier, by what chance converted to letters

Where your treasures are 

Gather treasures in this world
That mate and that child
That fame and that power
Is your heart there with them
Among the rust and moths?

Gather treasures in this world
Watch them leave and complain
The fame and power will surely wain
Is your heart there with them
Among the rust and moths?

In another world gather your treasures
Distant but not far
Take virtues with you
Is your heart there with them?
No rust or moth can spoil them

Where is your heart?
Find the beauty of the beloved
Upon the green branch of the eternal tree
Where your treasures are
There will your heart be!
