“Finally I realized that I was a demi-god and that I was beyond all the low, petty desires of mankind. I felt the eternal flux within me. What is eternity? Eternity for me was playing hide-and-seek with that whore on the banks of the Suren river; it was a momentary closing of my eyes when I hid my head in her lap.”
The Blind Owl • Sadegh Hedayat“It is never until one realizes that one means something to others that one feels there is any point or purpose in one's own existence.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig“The rational and the irrational appear such in a different way to different persons, just as the good and the bad, the profitable and the unprofitable.”
Discourses • Epictetus“Half of what I say is meaningless, but I say it so that the other half may reach you.”
Sand and Foam • Kahlil Gibran“As we grow old, we become aware that death is drawing near; his shadow falls across our path; the realities of life seem less crude than of yore, they touch our senses less intimately, and they lose much of their poignancy.”
Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman • Stefan Zweig
