“Only old Benjamin professed to remember every detail of his long life and to know that things never had been, nor ever could be much better or much worse--hunger, hardship, and disappointment being, so he said, the unalterable law of life.”
Animal Farm • George Orwell“‘No one but you and one ‘jade’ I have fallen in love with, to my ruin. But being in love doesn't mean loving. You may be in love with a woman and yet hate her.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“War being the greatest of evils, all its accessories necessarily partake of the same character.”
Omoo • Herman Melville“As a goose is not frightened by cackling nor a sheep by bleating, so let not the clamour of a senseless multitude alarm you.”
Fragment • Epictetus“It was the first rift in my father’s sanctity, it was the first nick in the pillars on which my childish life had rested, and which every human being must destroy before he can become himself. It is of these experiences, invisible to everyone, that the inner, essential line of our destiny consists. That kind of rift and nick closes over again, it is healed and forgotten, but in the most secret chamber of the mind it continues to live and bleed.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse
