“It would have been so pointless to kill himself that, even if he had wanted to, the pointlessness would have made him unable.”
The Trial • Franz Kafka“Books are not made to be believed, but to be subjected to inquiry. When we consider a book, we mustn't ask ourselves what it says but what it means...”
The Name of The Rose • Umberto Eco“But it is the way of youth that each fresh piece of knowledge of life should go to its head, and that once uplifted by an emotion it can never have enough of it.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig“I am quite ready, Simmias and Cebes, that I ought to be grieved at death, if I were not persuaded that I am going to other gods who are wise and good and to men departed who are better than those whom I leave behind; and therefore I do not grieve as I might have done, for I have good hope that there is yet something remaining for the dead, and, as has been said of old, some far better thing for the good than for the evil.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“It takes great courage to back truth unacceptable to our times. There's a punishment for it, and it's usually crucifixion.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck
