Quotes Jason Liked

S谩ndor M谩rai
“It鈥檚 the moment when something happens not just deep among the trees but also in the dark interior of the human heart, for the heart, too, has its night and its wild surges, as strong an instinct for the hunt as a wolf or a stag. The human night is filled with the crouching forms of dreams, desires, vanities, self-interest, mad love, envy, and the thirst for revenge, as the desert night conceals the puma, the hawk and the jackal.”
Sandor Marai, Embers

S谩ndor M谩rai
“Every exercise of power incorporates a faint, almost imperceptible, element of contempt for those over whom the power is exercised. One can only dominate another human soul if one knows, understands, and with the utmost tact despises the person one is subjugating.”
S谩ndor M谩rai, Embers

S谩ndor M谩rai
“There is this question of otherness鈥�.So just as it is blood alone that binds people to defend one another in the face of danger, on the spiritual plane one person will struggle to help another only if this person is not 鈥榙ifferent鈥�, and if, quite aside from opinions and convictions, they share similar natures at the deepest level.”
S谩ndor M谩rai, Embers
