“"The Poet had, who had made a show of attaching no importance to this literary game (though it gnawed at his heart that he himself had not written such beautiful letters, provoking replies even more beautiful), and having no one with whom to fall in love, had fallen in love with the letters themselves — which, as Niketas remarked with a smile — was not surprising, since in youth we are prone to fall in love with love.”
Baudolino • Umberto Eco“In reality, hope is the worst of all evils, because it prolongs the torments of man.”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche“Why are you being so stingy?", Sobakevich demanded. "It's cheap at the price. A rogue would cheat you, sell you some worthless rubbish instead of souls, but mine are as juicy as ripe nuts, all picked—they are all either craftsmen or sturdy peasants.”
Dead Souls • Nikolai Gogol“This monster of a land, this mightiest of nations, this spawn of the future, turns out to be the macrocosm of microcosm me.”
Travels with Charley: In Search of America • John Steinbeck“After coming into contact with a religious man I always feel I must wash my hands.”
Ecce Homo • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
