“"You're a bitter man," said Candide. "That's because I've lived," said Martin.”
Candide • Voltaire“Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde“Logic may indeed be unshakeable, but it cannot withstand a man who is determined to live. Where was the judge he had never seen? Where was the High Court he had never reached? He raised his hands and spread out all his fingers. But the hands of one of the men closed round his throat, just as the other drove the knife deep into his heart and turned it twice.”
The Trial • Franz Kafka“ “If ever my life can be of any use to you, come and claim it.””
Uncle Vanya • Anton Chekhov“What relationship could exist between the lives of the fools and healthy rabble who were well, who slept well, who performed the sexual act well, who had never felt the wings of death on their face every moment—what relationship could exist between them and one like me who has arrived at the end of his rope and who knows that he will pass away gradually and tragically?”
The Blind Owl • Sadegh Hedayat
