“A woman can only become a man’s friend in three stages: first, she’s an agreeable acquaintance, then a mistress, and only after that a friend.”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“I often ardently perceived a longing for relief, the desire for a proper confession, but I also felt in advance that I would be unable to tell and explain things correctly to either my father or mother. I knew that they would receive my words amicably, they would carefully spare my feelings, in fact, pity me, but they wouldn’t fully understand me, and the whole thing would be looked on as a sort of minor infraction, whereas it was actually my fate.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“Man must not only make himself: the weightiest thing he has to do is to determine what he is going to be. He is causa sui to the second power.”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset“Frequent and violent temptations were a proof that the citadel of the soul had not fallen and that the devil raged to make it fall.”
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man • James Joyce“However, nothing turned out as Tchitchikoff had intended.”
Dead Souls • Nikolai Gogol
