“The compensation of growing old ... was simply this; that the passion remains as strong as ever, but one has gained -- at last! -- the power which adds the supreme flavour to existence -- the power of taking hold of experience, of turning it round, slowly, in the light.”
Mrs. Dalloway • Virginia Woolf“No one who can read, ever looks at a book, even unopened on a shelf, like one who cannot.”
Our Mutual Friend • Charles Dickens“All Russia is our orchard.”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“Even those who have renounced Christianity and attack it, in their inmost being still follow the Christian ideal, for hitherto neither their subtlety nor the ardor of their hearts has been able to create a higher ideal of man and of virtue than the ideal given by Christ.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski““The sound of trees comes from all sides. From leaves, branches, roots… If you put your ear to my trunk, you can hear my heartbeat.””
My Sweet Orange Tree • José Mauro de Vasconcelos
