“The literary woman, unsatisfied, agitated, desolate in heart and entrails, listening every minute with painful curiosity to the imperative which whispers from the depths of her organism "aut liberi aut libri [either children or books]."”
Twilight of the Idols • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“By a small sample we may judge of the whole piece.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“He would say that God had given him a tail to keep the flies off, but that he would sooner have had no tail and no flies.”
Animal Farm • George Orwell““No one had any reason to be dissatisfied with what he had seen no one, that is, except for the starvation artist, he alone, always.” ”
A Hunger Artist • Franz Kafka“When a child first catches adults out -- when it first walks into his grave little head that adults do not always have divine intelligence, that their judgments are not always wise, their thinking true, their sentences just -- his world falls into panic desolation. The gods are fallen and all safety gone. And there is one sure thing about the fall of gods: they do not fall a little; they crash and shatter or sink deeply into green muck. It is a tedious job to build them up again; they never quite shine. And the child's world is never quite whole again. It is an aching kind of growing.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck
