Quote by Oscar Wilde

But beauty, real beauty, ends where an intellectual expression begins.

Summary

This quote suggests that while beauty may captivate us on a superficial level, its true value diminishes once it is overshadowed by intellectual depth and expression. It implies that a beautiful appearance alone falls short in comparison to the power of intellectualism and meaningful communication. Beauty alone cannot sustain long-lasting interest or significance; it is the combination of physical attractiveness with intellectual substance that truly captures and engages our attention.

Kami antarsaudara terpaksa saling bunuh hanya karena kekuasa

Kami antarsaudara terpaksa saling bunuh hanya karena kekuasaan. Itulah yang nyaris terjadi di setiap negara. Demokrasi yang sekarang menggejala, apakah benar akan mengantarkan manusia pada kesadaran untuk berhenti saling membunuh? Tidak juga. Di negeri seberang, di mana kudengar demokrasi diberikan begitu leluasa, malah kejahatan, pembunuhan, pemerkosaan terhadap perempuan, saling fitnah, saling rebut kekuasaan hampir terjadi setiap hari.

Still, being fragile creatures, humans always try to hide from themselves the certainty that they will die. They do not see that it is death itself that motivates them to do the best things in their lives. They are afraid to step into the dark, afraid of the unknown, and their only way of conquering that fear is to ignore the fact that their days are numbered. They do not see that with an awareness of death, they would be able to be even more daring, to go much further in their daily conquests, because then they would have nothing to lose- for death itself is inevitable.
