“The psychical condition of men's minds may be compared with a set of bells close together, and so arranged that in the ordinary man a bell rings only when one beside it sounds, and the vibration lasts only a moment. In the genius, when a bell sounds it vibrates so strongly that it sets in action the whole series, and remains in action throughout life. The latter kind of movement often gives rise to extraordinary conditions and absurd impulses, that may last for weeks together and that form the basis of the supposed kinship of genius with insanity.” MenGivingMindKindMayWholeMomentsActionTogetherLastsFormSoundWeekConditionsMovementGeniusOrdinaryBasesRemainsSeriesExtraordinaryRingsAbsurdImpulseInsanityLatterBellsVibrationsKinshipOrdinary ManVibrate Author:Otto Weininger

It is no sparkling epigram of action, but a luminous epic of character.” MomentsCharacterActionDarknessFireTongueImpulseFlamesSteadyHeroismEpicRocketsInsultingRushingLuminousTransientRadianceEpigramsSparklingDarts Author:Edwin Percy Whipple
“The coarsest father gains a new impulse to labor from the moment of his baby's birth; he scarcely sees it when awake, and yet it is with him all the time. Every stroke he strikes is for his child. New social aims, new moral motives, come vaguely up to him.” ChildrenMomentsFatherSocialMoralBabyBirthGainsLaborAimStrikesImpulseAwakeMotiveStrokes Book:Outdoor Studies, Poems Source: Outdoor Studies, Poems
“Reflection brakes men cowards. There is no object that can be put in competition with life, unless it is viewed through the medium of passion, and we are hurried away by the impulse of the moment.” MenMomentsPassionObjectsReflectionCompetitionMediumsImpulseCowardBrake Author:William Hazlitt
