“Beauty had this penalty -- it came too readily, came too completely. It stilled life -- froze it. One forgot the little agitations; the flush, the pallor, some queer distortion, some light or shadow, which made the face unrecognisable for a moment and yet added a quality one saw for ever after. It was simpler to smooth that all out under the cover of beauty.”
To the Lighthouse • Virginia Woolf“Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice.”
Hamlet • William Shakespeare“Dogs are clever fellows; they know all about politics [...]”
Diary of a Madman • Nikolai Gogol“The artist who is after success lets himself be influenced by the public. Generally such an artist contributes nothing new, for the public acclaims only what it already knows, what it recognizes.”
Reflections on Literature and Morality • Andre Gide““In the search for truth man makes two steps forward and one step back. Suffering, mistakes, and weariness of life thrust them back, but the thirst for truth and stubborn will drive them on and on.””
Seagull • Anton Chekhov
