“Cruelty would be delicious if one could only find some sort of cruelty that didn’t really hurt.”
Heartbreak House • George Bernard Shaw““Maman died today. Or yesterday maybe, I don’t know. I got a telegram from the home: ‘Mother deceased. Funeral tomorrow. Faithfully yours.’ That doesn’t mean anything. Maybe it was yesterday.””
Stranger • Albert Camus“All violence consists in some people forcing others, under threat of suffering or death, to do what they do not want to do.”
The Law of Love and the Law of Violence • Leo Tolstoy“What is the meaning of life?... A simple question; one that tended to close in on one with years. The great revelation had never come. The great revelation perhaps never did come. Instead there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark.”
To the Lighthouse • Virginia Woolf““A slight blow for me: a telegram from Paris, informing me that an old uncle of mine (…) is arriving tomorrow evening. It is a blow because it will take time and I need all the time I have and a thousand times more than all the time I have and most of all I’d like to have all the time there is just for you, for thinking about you, for breathing in you. My apartment is making me restless, the evenings are making me restless, I’d like to be someplace different and I’d prefer it if the office didn’t exist at all; but then I think that I deserve to be hit in the face for speaking beyond the present moment, this moment, which belongs to you.” (6 July 1920)”
Letters To Milena • Franz Kafka
