“When men are about to commit, or sanction the commission of some injustice, it is not uncommon for them to express pity for the object either of that or some parallel proceeding, and to feel themselves, at the time, quite virtuous and moral, and immensely superior to those who express no pity at all. This is a kind of upholding of faith above works, and is very comfortable.”
Nicholas Nickleby • Charles Dickens“Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone, you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.”
The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson • Mark Twain“Woman learns to hate to the extent to which her charms decrease.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“They lived and laughed and loved and left.”
Finnegan's Wake • James Joyce“This village belongs to the Castle, and whoever lives here or passes the night here does so in a manner of speaking in the Castle itself. Nobody may do that without the Count's permission.”
The Castle • Franz Kafka
