“The avaricious are thrifty with time as well as money.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig“I was growing inward incessantly; like an animal that hibernates during the wintertime, I could hear other peoples' voices with my ears; my own voice, however, I could hear only in my throat. The loneliness and the solitude that lurked behind me were like a condensed, thick, eternal night, like one of those nights with a dense, persistent, sticky darkness which waits to pounce on unpopulated cities filled with lustful and vengeful dreams.”
The Blind Owl • Sadegh Hedayat“Heaven's help is better than early rising.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“As an enemy is made more fierce by our flight, so pain grows proud to see us truckle under it; she will surrender upon much better terms to those who make head against us.”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne“Though seemingly remote from human sexuality, shorebird sexuality is instructive because it illustrates the main message of this book: a species’ sexuality is molded by other aspects of the species’ biology. It’s easier for us to acknowledge this conclusion about shorebirds, to which we don’t apply moral standards, than about ourselves.”
Why Is Sex Fun?: The Evolution of Human Sexuality • Jared Diamond
