Famous quotes containing the words choice, solidarity and/or transition:

    “Live a thousand years,
    I shall not find myself so apt to die.
    No place will please me so, no mean of death,
    As here by Caesar, and by you cut off,
    The choice and master spirits of this age.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “It is not in how one soul approaches another but in how it withdraws that I know its affinity and solidarity with the other.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “There is not any present moment that is unconnected with some future one. The life of every man is a continued chain of incidents, each link of which hangs upon the former. The transition from cause to effect, from event to event, is often carried on by secret steps, which our foresight cannot divine, and our sagacity is unable to trace. Evil may at some future period bring forth good; and good may bring forth evil, both equally unexpected.”
    —Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
