“The artist, like the God of creation, remains within or behind or beyond or above his handiwork, invisible, refined out of existence, indifferent, paring his fingernails.”
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man • James Joyce“Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends, I to my own heart, I to seek among phrases and fragments something unbroken — I to whom there is not beauty enough in moon or tree; to whom the touch of one person with another is all, yet who cannot grasp even that, who am so imperfect, so weak, so unspeakably lonely.”
The Waves • Virginia Woolf“Rhino-mounted Bantu shock troops could have overthrown the Roman Empire. It never happened.”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“At bottom every man knows well enough that he is a unique being, only once on this earth; and by no extraordinary chance will such a marvelously picturesque piece of diversity in unity as he is, ever be put together a second time.”
Thoughts Out of Season • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“Ah, only he who knows where he sails, knows what wind is good, and a fair wind for him.”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche
