Quote by William Shakespeare

Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall.

Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall.

Summary

This quote, by William Shakespeare, suggests that contrary to conventional expectations, some individuals achieve success and rise up in society through immoral or sinful actions. Meanwhile, others who possess virtuous qualities and moral conduct end up suffering or experiencing a downfall. The quote challenges the belief that righteousness guarantees success, and instead recognizes that life and success are often influenced by complex factors, including the decisions and actions we undertake, both good and bad. Shakespeare's words remind us of the unpredictable nature of life and the diverse paths people may take to achieve their goals.

Back in the past metaphysical realisation needed only the will of realisation. Later realisation also needed initiation. Even later initiation already presupposed preparation. Today even preparation has to be prepared, but first of all a self-correction should take place.

All the girls in the world were divided into two classes: one class included all the girls in the world except her, and they had all the usual human feelings and were very ordinary girls; while the other class -herself alone- had no weaknesses and was superior to all humanity.

NO. No no no. I don't want to screw you. I just love you. When did who you want to screw become the whole game? Since when is the person you want to screw the only person you get to love? It's so stupid, Tiny! I mean, Jesus, who even gives a fuck about sex?! People act like it's the most important thing humans do, but come on. How can our sentient fucking lives revolve around something slugs can do. I mean, who you want to screw and whether you screw them? Those are important questions, I guess. But they're not that important. You know what's important? Who would you die for? Who do you wake up at five forty-five in the morning for even though you don't even know why he needs you? Whose drunken nose would you pick?!

Many of us will die for science without knowing it.

Most people aren't appreciated enough, and the bravest thing

Most people aren't appreciated enough, and the bravest things we do in our lives are usually known only to ourselves. No one throws ticker tape on the man who chose to be faithful to his wife, on the lawyer who didn't take the drug money, or the daughter who held her tongue again and again. All this anonymous heroism.
