“I know that many people won’t believe that a child not yet eleven is capable of such feelings. It is not to those people that I am telling my story. I’m telling it to those who have greater knowledge of humanity. An adult who has learned how to transform part of his emotions into thought processes notices that such thoughts aren’t present in a child, and then concludes that the experiences aren’t present, either. But only seldom in my life have I had such deep and painful experiences as I had then.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“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“A whole lifetime was too short to bring out, the full flavour; to extract every ounce of pleasure, every shade of meaning.”
Mrs. Dalloway • Virginia Woolf“You say "society must exact vengeance, and society must punish." Wrong on both counts. Vengeance comes from the individual and punishment from God.”
The Last Day of a Condemned Man • VICTOR HUGO“But oh! shipmates! on the starboard hand of every woe, there is a sure delight; and higher the top of that delight, than the bottom of the woe is deep.”
Moby Dick • Herman Melville
