““He was prepared to joke with them, to tell them stories from his journeyman years, and in turn to listen to their stories, anything just so as to keep them awake, to be able to show them again and again that he had nothing edible in the cage, and that he starved in a way that not one of them could.” ”
A Hunger Artist • Franz Kafka“ “Everywhere was in silence, like the velvet feet of death. And I was condemned to live; to live!””
My Sweet Orange Tree • José Mauro de Vasconcelos““Fortune . . . shows her power where valour has not prepared to resist her, and thither she turns her forces where she knows that barriers and defences have not been raised to constrain her.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“Do not shorten the morning by getting up late, or waste it in unworthy occupations or in talk; look upon it as the quintessence of life, as to a certain extent sacred. Evening is like old age: we are languid, talkative, silly. Each day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth, every going to rest and sleep a little death.”
Counsels and Maxims • Arthur Schopenhauer“They lived and laughed and loved and left.”
Finnegan's Wake • James Joyce
