“It was not only that I could not become spiteful, I did not know how to become anything; neither spiteful nor kind, neither a rascal nor an honest man, neither a hero nor an insect. Now, I am living out my life in my corner, taunting myself with the spiteful and useless consolation that an intelligent man cannot become anything seriously, and it is only the fool who becomes anything.”
Notes from Underground • Fyodor Dostoevski“ "Gazing into the darkness, he felt a great pride that he was able to provide a life like that in such a nice home for his sister and parents."”
Metamorphosis and Other Stories • Franz Kafka“The life which is implicated with fortune (depends on fortune) is like a winter torrent: for it is turbulent, and full of mud, and difficult to cross, and tyrannical, and noisy, and of short duration.”
Fragment • Epictetus““You must determine where you are going in your life, because you cannot get there unless you move in that direction. Random wandering will not move you forward. It will instead disappoint and frustrate you and make you anxious and unhappy and hard to get along with (and then resentful, and then vengeful, and then worse).””
12 Rules For Life: An Antidote To Chaos • Jordan B. Peterson“My dreams are the problems of the day stepped up to absurdity, a little like men dancing, wearing the horns and masks of animals.”
The Winter of Our Discontent • John Steinbeck
