““I swear fearfully at the conventions of the stage.””
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“By the sensuous, the flesh, Christianity understands selfishness. A conflict between spirit and flesh is inconceivable unless there is a rebellious spirit on the side of flesh, with which the spirit then contends; similarly, a conflict between spirit and a stone or between spirit and a tree is inconceivable.”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard“His ear heard more than was said to him, and his slow speech had overtones not of thought, but of understanding beyond thought.”
Of Mice and Men • John Steinbeck““Wherever you are , some will want to ask questions about your skin or your prayers. Beware of gratifying their instincts, my son, beware of bending before the multitude! Muslim, Jew or Christian, they must take you as you are, or lose you. When men's minds seem narrow to you, tell yourself that the land of God is broad; broad His hands and broad His heart. Never hesitate to go far away, beyond all seas, all frontiers, all countries, all beliefs.'”
Leo Africanus • Amin Maalouf““…and I am here just like I was in Vienna and your hand is in my own as long as you leave it there.” (29th July 1920)”
Letters To Milena • Franz Kafka
