“He looked at her again, now with the vague abject shyness that older men often have with young women, as though asking their indulgence for no longer being young.”
The Post Office Girl • Stefan Zweig“He tried to weigh his soul to see if it was a poet's soul. Melancholy was the dominant note of his temperament, he thought, but it was a melancholy tempered by recurrences of faith and resignation and simple joy. If he could give expression to it in a book of poems perhaps men would listen.”
Dubliners • James Joyce“The only way a woman can ever reform a man is by boring him so completely that he loses all possible interest in life.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde““The first opinion which one forms of a prince, and of his understanding, is by observing the men he has around him.””

Demian • Hermann Hesse
