“Labor in loneliness is irksome.”

The Innocents Abroad • Mark Twain

“Human nature is so well disposed towards those who are in interesting situations, that a young person, who either marries or dies, is sure of being kindly spoken of.”

Emma • Jane Austen

“To learn to see -- to accustom the eye to calmness, to patience, and to allow things to come up to it; to defer judgment, and to acquire the habit of approaching and grasping an individual case from all sides. This is the first preparatory schooling of intellectuality. One must not respond immediately to a stimulus; one must acquire a command of the obstructing and isolating instincts.”

Twilight of the Idols • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

“How charming it is that there are words and sounds: are not words and sounds rainbows and illusive bridges between things eternally separated?”

Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche

“Even in those cities which seem to enjoy the blessings of peace, and where the arts florish, the inhabitants are devoured by envy, cares and anxieties, which are greater plagues than any experienced in a town when it is under siege.”

Candide • Voltaire
