Journals • Andre Gide“„Our heart is a treasury; if you pour out all its wealth at once, you are bankrupt.“”
Le Pere Goriot • Honore de Balzac““Whether at Naishapur or Babylon, / Whether the Cup with sweet or bitter run, / The Wine of Life keeps oozing drop by drop, / The Leaves of Life keep falling one by one.””
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam • Omar Khayyam“If lowborn men could stand up to those born to rule, religion, government, the whole world would fall to pieces ... So it would; so it will ... then the pieces will be put together again by such as destroyed it.”
The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights • John Steinbeck“Once it's been proved to you that you're descended from an ape, it's no use pulling a face; just accept it. Once they've proved to you that a single droplet of your own fat must be dearer to you than a hundred thousand of your fellow human beings and consequently that all so-called virtues and duties are nothing but ravings and prejudices, then accept that too, because there's nothing to be done.”
Notes from Underground • Fyodor Dostoevski
