“Still, life had a way of adding day to day.”
Mrs. Dalloway • Virginia Woolf“Most often people seek in life occasions for persisting in their opinions rather than for educating themselves.”
Reflections on Literature and Morality • Andre Gide“Real art, like the wife of an affectionate husband, needs no ornaments. But counterfeit art, like a prostitute, must always be decked out. The cause of production of real art is the artist's inner need to express a feeling that has accumulated, just as for a mother the cause of sexual conception is love. The cause of counterfeit art, as of prostitution, is gain. The consequence of true art is the introduction of a new feeling into the intercourse of life, as the consequence of a wife's love is the birth of a new man into life. The consequences of counterfeit art are the perversion of man, pleasure which never satisfies, and the weakening of man's spiritual strength.”
What is art? • Leo Tolstoy“People who are most afraid of their dreams convince themselves they don't dream at all.”
The Winter of Our Discontent • John Steinbeck“Death, like generation, is a secret of Nature.”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius
