"It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquility: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it."
Charlotte Bronte (Jane Eyre)

"It is in vain to say human beings ought to be satisfied with tranquility: they must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it."
Charlotte Bronte (Jane Eyre)
"… mental health is based on a certain degree of tension, the tension between what one has already achieved and what one still ought to accomplish, or the gap between what one is and what one should become."
Viktor E. Frankl (Man’s Search for Meaning)
"But I repeat for the hundredth time, there is one case, one only, when man may consciously, purposely, desire what is injurious to himself, what is stupid, very stupid—simply in order to have the right to desire for himself even what is very stupid and not to be bound by an obligation to desire only what is sensible."
Dostoyevsky (Notes from the Underground)
