“Suicide may also be regarded as an experiment -- a question which man puts to Nature, trying to force her to answer. The question is this: What change will death produce in a man’s existence and in his insight into the nature of things? It is a clumsy experiment to make; for it involves the destruction of the very consciousness which puts the question and awaits the answer.”
Parerga and Paralipomena • Arthur Schopenhauer“It is a lovely night, and they are much to be pitied who have not been taught to feel, in some degree, as you do; who have not, at least, been given a taste for Nature in early life. They lose a great deal.”
Mansfield Park • Jane Austen“To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune ... to lose both seems like carelessness.”
The importance of Being Earnest • Oscar Wilde“Variant translation: Somebody must have slandered Joseph K., for without having done anything wrong he was arrested one fine morning.”
The Trial • Franz Kafka““She was, as you know already without as yet knowing anything, the Lily of this valley, where she grew for heaven, filling it with the fragrance of her virtues.””
The Lily Of The Valley • Honore de Balzac
