“In this base world, full of poverty and misery, for the first time I thought a ray of sunshine had shone on my life. But alas, it was not a sunbeam, rather it was only a transient beam, a shooting star, which appeared to me in the likeness of a woman or an angel.”
The Blind Owl • Sadegh Hedayat“Fathers and teachers, I ponder, "What is hell?" I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski““The first requisite for success is the ability to apply your physical and mental energies to one problem incessantly without growing weary.””
Eat That Frog! • Brian Tracy“The phoenix hope, can wing her way through the desert skies, and still defying fortune's spite; revive from ashes and rise.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes““He had cast out of heaven his dim star; it had fallen, and its track was lost in the darkness of night. It would never return to the sky again, because life was given only once and never came a second time. If he could have turned back the days and years of the past, he would have replaced the falsity with truth, the idleness with work, the boredom with happiness; he would have given back purity to those whom he had robbed of it. He would have found God and goodness, but that was as impossible as to put back the fallen star into the sky, and because it was impossible he was in despair.””
The Duel • Anton Chekhov
