“For one who is having no personal experience, the passionate disquiet of others is at any rate a titillation of the nerves, like seeing a play or listening to music.”
Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman • Stefan Zweig“Variant translation: Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“In no social institution is the codified ritual of behavior more rigid than in funerals. Imagine the indignation if the minister altered his sermon or experimented with facial expression. Consider the shock if, at the funeral parlors, any chairs were used but those little folding yellow torture chairs with the hard seats. No, dying, a man may be loved, hated, mourned, missed; but once dead he becomes the chief ornament of a complicated and formal social celebration.”
Tortilla Flat • John Steinbeck“Often the only difference between a problem being painful or being powerful is a sense that we chose it, and that we are responsible for it.”
The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*Ck • Mark Manson“I drink when I have occasion, and sometimes when I have no occasion.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes
