“Still, life had a way of adding day to day.”
Mrs. Dalloway • Virginia Woolf“That man is a weakling and a degenerate who struggles and maligns the order of the universe and would rather reform the gods than reform himself.”
Letters from a Stoic • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“It's the great mystery of human life that old grief passes gradually into quiet tender joy.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“„One thing, however, did become clear to him [Goldmund] – why so many perfect works of art did not please him at all, why they were almost hateful and boring to him, in spite of a certain undeniable beauty. Workshops, churches, and palaces were full of these fatal works of art; he had even helped with a few himself. They were deeply disappointing because they aroused the desire for the highest and did not fulfill it. They lacked the most essential thing – mystery. That was what dreams and truly great works of art had in common: mystery.“”
Narcissus and Goldmund • Hermann Hesse“A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite. And to act so is immoral.”
On Civil Disobedience • Leo Tolstoy
