““To fear love is to fear life, and those whose fear life are already three parts dead...””
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“Fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so lightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners. Often the attachment is scarcely perceptible; Shakespeare's plays, for instance, seem to hang there complete by themselves. But when the web is pulled askew, hooked up at the edge, torn in the middle, one remembers that these webs are not spun in midair by incorporeal creatures, but are the work of suffering human beings, and are attached to the grossly material things, like health and money and the houses we live in.”
A Room of One's Own • Virginia Woolf“No one has had gods so favourable to him that he can promise himself a morrow.”
Thyestes • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“But there certainly are not so many men of large fortune in the world as there are pretty women to deserve them.”
Mansfield Park • Jane Austen““The world is nothing but change. Our life is only perception.” ”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius
