“It should be noted that the games of children are not games, and must be considered as their most serious actions.”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne“This question of yours, Sir, about my being a house painter — or rather, not a question, you simply made a statement — is typical of the whole character of this trial that is being foisted on me. You may object that it is not a trial at all; you are quite right, for it is only a trial if I recognize it as such. But for the moment I do recognize it, on grounds of compassion, as it were. One can't regard it except with compassion, if one is to regard it at all. I do not say that your procedure is contemptible, but I should like to present that epithet to you for your private consumption.”
The Trial • Franz Kafka“arguments and unhappiness, and when anger overcame me at such times, I was a terror, doing and saying things whose vileness I felt deeply and painfully at the very moment I did”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“Never know whose thoughts you're chewing.”
Ulysses • James Joyce“Long only for what you have.”
Fruits of the Earth • Andre Gide
