“A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.”
A Room of One's Own • Virginia Woolf“When men are about to commit, or sanction the commission of some injustice, it is not uncommon for them to express pity for the object either of that or some parallel proceeding, and to feel themselves, at the time, quite virtuous and moral, and immensely superior to those who express no pity at all. This is a kind of upholding of faith above works, and is very comfortable.”
Nicholas Nickleby • Charles Dickens“You ain't worth a greased lack pin to ram you into hell.”
Of Mice and Men • John Steinbeck“Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism.”
Memories, Dreams, Reflections • Carl Gustav Jung““Look again, and see what will naturally follow if the prisoners are released and disabused of their error. At first, when any of them is liberated and compelled suddenly to stand up and turn his neck round and walk and look towards the light, he will suffer sharp pains; the glare will distress him, and he will be unable to see the realities of which in his former state he had seen the shadows; and then conceive some one saying to him, that what he saw before was an illusion, but that now, when he is approaching nearer to being and his eye is turned towards more real existence, he has a clearer vision,—what will be his reply?””
Republic • Plato
