“I know that many people won’t believe that a child not yet eleven is capable of such feelings. It is not to those people that I am telling my story. I’m telling it to those who have greater knowledge of humanity. An adult who has learned how to transform part of his emotions into thought processes notices that such thoughts aren’t present in a child, and then concludes that the experiences aren’t present, either. But only seldom in my life have I had such deep and painful experiences as I had then.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“Death,—a stopping of impressions through the senses, and of the pulling of the cords of motion, and of the ways of thought, and of service to the flesh.”
Book VI • Marcus Aurelius“In some mysterious way, once one has gained an insight into human nature, that insight grows from day to day, and he to whom it has given to experience vicariously even one single form of earthly suffering acquires, by reason of this tragic lesson, an understanding of all its forms, even those most foreign to him, and apparently abnormal.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig“This work was strictly voluntary, but any animal who absented himself from it would have his rations reduced by half.”
Animal Farm • George Orwell“Talking nonsense is man's only privilege that distinguishes him from all other organisms.”
Crime And Punishment • Fyodor Dostoevski
