“The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again.”
Nicholas Nickleby • Charles Dickens“I laugh at it today, now that I have had all the good of it. Let the bridge blow up, provided I have got my troops across... Nonetheless, that book was a terrible risk. A transparent leaf separates it from madness.”
Ulysses • James Joyce“In historical events great men—so-called—are but labels serving to give a name to the event, and like labels they have the least possible connection with the event itself. Every action of theirs, that seems to them an act of their own free will, is in an historical sense not free at all, but in bondage to the whole course of previous history, and predestined from all eternity.”
War and Peace • Leo Tolstoy“Finally I realized that I was a demi-god and that I was beyond all the low, petty desires of mankind. I felt the eternal flux within me. What is eternity? Eternity for me was playing hide-and-seek with that whore on the banks of the Suren river; it was a momentary closing of my eyes when I hid my head in her lap.”
The Blind Owl • Sadegh Hedayat““You don’t have to cry just because you’re sad.””
My Sweet Orange Tree • José Mauro de Vasconcelos
