““I swear fearfully at the conventions of the stage.””
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“In the little world in which children have their existence whosoever brings them up, there is nothing so finely perceived and so finely felt, as injustice. It may be only small injustice that the child can be exposed to; but the child is small, and its world is small, and its rocking-horse stands as many hands high, according to scale, as a big-boned Irish hunter.”
Great Expectations • Charles Dickens“The most radical division that it is possible to make of humanity is that which splits it into two classes of creatures: Those who make great demands on themselves, piling up difficulties and duties; and those who demand nothing special of themselves, but for whom to live is to be every moment what they already are, without imposing on themselves any effort towards perfection, mere buoys that float on the waves.”
the Revolt of the Masses • Jose Ortega y Gasset“Perhaps our greatest distinction as a species is our capacity, unique among animals, to make counter-evolutionary choices.”
Why Is Sex Fun?: The Evolution of Human Sexuality • Jared Diamond“Let every emotion be capable becoming an intoxication to you. If what you eat fails to make you drunk, it is because you are not hungry enough.”
Fruits of the Earth • Andre Gide
