Fire Folding

Famous quotes containing the words fire and/or folding:

    Love and hatred are not blind, but are blinded by the fire they bear within themselves.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    There’s only one way for an individual to remain upright, not to fall to pieces, not to sink into the mire of self-oblivion ... or self-contempt. That’s calmly to turn away from everything, to say, “Enough!” and, folding one’s useless arms across one’s empty breast, to retain the ultimate, the sole attainable virtue, the virtue of recognizing one’s own insignificance.
    Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
