Quote by Napoleon

Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever.

Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever.

Summary

This quote by French military leader Napoleon Bonaparte suggests that fame and glory are temporary and do not last forever. While individuals may achieve temporary acclaim for their achievements or actions, their reputation and influence will eventually diminish over time. On the other hand, those who remain in obscurity, unseen and unnoticed, will be forgotten and have no lasting impact on history or society. The quote serves as a reminder that the importance we attach to recognition and the pursuit of glory may be fleeting and ultimately insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

I love the Beatles. I haven't named any kids after them but I still really love them. They were the first group that I was ever properly aware of. In my early teens I would sometimes stay in and listen to the radio all day in the hope that I would catch a song by them that I'd never heard before and be able to tape it on my radio-cassette player.

A moment later I heard my sweetheart running up the stairs. My heart expanded with such force that it almost blotted me out. I hitched up the pants of my pajamas, flung the door open: and simultaneously Lolita arrived, in her Sunday frock, stamping, panting, and the she was in my arms, her innocent mouth melting under the ferocious pressure of dark male jaws, my palpitating darling!

There are only two emotions: love and fear. All positive emo

There are only two emotions: love and fear. All positive emotions come from love, all negative emotions from fear. From love flows happiness, contentment, peace, and joy. From fear comes anger, hate, anxiety and guilt. It's true that there are only two primary emotions, love and fear. But it's more accurate to say that there is only love or fear, for we cannot feel these two emotions together, at exactly the same time. They're opposites. If we're in fear, we are not in a place of love. When we're in a place of love, we cannot be in a place of fear.
