“Human beings have a physical need to tell themselves when at work: "Let's have done with it now," and it's having constantly to go on thinking in the face of this need when philosophizing that makes this work so strenuous.” ThinkingNeedsHumansDoneFacesHuman BeingsGoes On Author:Ludwig Wittgenstein
“For a woman as for a man, marriage might enormously help or devastatingly hinder the growth of her power to contribute something impersonally valuable to the community in which she lived, but it was not that power, and could not be regarded as an end in itself.

Now comes the fulfillment and relieves him, but soon he is again placed on reconnaissance for expectancy; then he is again relieved, but as long as there is any future for him, he has not yet finished his service. And while human life goes on this way in very diverse expectancy, expecting very different things according to different times and occasions and in different frames of mind, all life is again one nightwatch of expectancy.” WayMindHumansLongDifferentLife IsHuman BeingsGoes OnActiveFinishedOccasionsHuman LifeFulfillmentDifferent ThingsExpectingDiverseRelievedDifferent TimesLife Goes OnFrame Of MindExpectancy Author:Soren Kierkegaard
