“If they drive God from the earth, we shall shelter Him underground.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“There's no quiet place here on earth for our love, not in the village and not anywhere else, so I picture a grave, deep and narrow, in which we embrace as if clamped together, I bury my face against you, you yours against me, and no one will ever see us.”
The Castle • Franz Kafka“Why, within Eurasia, were European societies, rather than those of the Fertile Crescent or China or India, the ones that colonized America and Australia, took the lead in technology, and became politically and economically dominant in the modern world?”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“It is a great folly to lose the inner man in order to gain the outer, that is, to give up the whole or the greater part of one's quiet, leisure, and independence for splendour, rank, pomp, titles and honours.”
Parerga and Paralipomena • Arthur Schopenhauer“The literary woman, unsatisfied, agitated, desolate in heart and entrails, listening every minute with painful curiosity to the imperative which whispers from the depths of her organism "aut liberi aut libri [either children or books]."”
Twilight of the Idols • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
