“In no social institution is the codified ritual of behavior more rigid than in funerals. Imagine the indignation if the minister altered his sermon or experimented with facial expression. Consider the shock if, at the funeral parlors, any chairs were used but those little folding yellow torture chairs with the hard seats. No, dying, a man may be loved, hated, mourned, missed; but once dead he becomes the chief ornament of a complicated and formal social celebration.”
Tortilla Flat • John Steinbeck“. But each one is a gamble of Nature, a hopeful attempt at forming a human being. We all have a common origin, the Mothers, we all come out of the same abyss; but each of us, a trial throw of the dice from the depths, strives toward his own goal.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“But still anger ought be far from us, for nothing is able to be done rightly nor judiciously with anger.”
On Duties • Marcus Tullius Cicero“I looked at that hand and felt how rough and deeply hostile it was to me, how it was reaching out for my life and my peace of mind”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“Books are the mirrors of the soul.”
Between the Acts • Virginia Woolf
