“"After a cigar or a glass of vodka you are no longer Peter Sorin, but Peter Sorin plus somebody else."”
The Three Sisters • Anton Chekhov““Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals. He sets them to work, he gives back to them the bare minimum that will prevent them from starving, and the rest he keeps for himself.””
Animal Farm • George Orwell“Gratitude is a rare frame of mind; and those who are grateful can seldom find a way to express what they feel. They are overwhelmed by silence; are shamefaced; and, sometimes, actually try to hide their feelings.”
Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman • Stefan Zweig“Because it corresponds to a vital need, love is overvalued in our culture. It becomes a phantom - like success - carrying with it the illusion that it is a solution for all problems.”
The Neurotic Personality Of Our Time • Karen Horney“. But each one is a gamble of Nature, a hopeful attempt at forming a human being. We all have a common origin, the Mothers, we all come out of the same abyss; but each of us, a trial throw of the dice from the depths, strives toward his own goal.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse
