More From Euripides

Fate is a misplaced retreat. many people rationalize an unexplained event as fate and shrug their shoulders when it occurs. but that is not what fate is. the world operates as a series of circles that are invisible, for they extend to the upper air. fate is where these circles cut to earth. since we cannot see them, do not know their content, and have no sense of their width, it is impossible to predict when these cuts will slice into our reality. when this happens, we call it fate. fate is not a chance event but one that is inevitable, we are simply blind to its nature and time.
Cutting Fate Reality
If they can’t survive alone for four days once a year, they deserve to die. (acheron) that’s harsh, for you. (dante) harsh? tell you what, you take my phone and skim through the three thousand phone calls i get every day and night and see how harsh i am. i truly hate modern technology and phones in particular. i haven’t had a full four hours of sleep in over fifty years. ‘ash, i broke a toenail, help me. ash, my head hurts, what should i do?’ (acheron)
Hurt Hate Sleep
Free will appears unfettered, deliberate; it is boundlessly free, wandering, the spirit. but fate is a necessity; unless we believe that world history is a dream-error, the unspeakable sorrows of mankind fantasies, and that we ourselves are but the toys of our fantasies. fate is the boundless force of opposition against free will. free will without fate is just as unthinkable as spirit without reality, good without evil. only antithesis creates the quality.
Dream Believe Fate
Old-fashioned determinism was what we may call hard determinism. it did not shrink from such words as fatality, bondage of the will, necessitation, and the like. nowadays, we have a soft determinism which abhors harsh words, and, repudiating fatality, necessity, and even predetermination, says that its real name is freedom; for freedom is only necessity understood, and bondage to the highest is identical with true freedom.
Freedom Real Names
This is what has to be remembered about the law: beneath that cold, harsh, impersonal exterior there beats a cold, harsh, impersonal heart.

Necessity is an evil; but there is no necessity for continuing to live subject to necessity.

Similar Quotes
I find that the interesting challenges, because there's obvious things where, you know, don't be unethical, don't be evil, you know, don't break the law, don't do immoral things, those are all straightforward and don't create ethical dilemmas. the thing that's interesting is when you actually have multiple interests at stake and you have to kind of navigate your way through it.
