“In this life our sorrows are either not very long or not very great because nature either overcomes them by habits or puts an end to them by sinking under their weight. But in hell the torments cannot be overcome by habit, for while they are of terrible intensity they are at the same time of continual variety, each pain, so to speak, taking fire from another and re-endowing that which has enkindled it with a still fiercer flame.”
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man • James Joyce“Those who come a hundred or two hundred years after us will despise us for having lived our lives so stupidly and tastelessly. Perhaps they’ll find a means to be happy.”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“The rational and the irrational appear such in a different way to different persons, just as the good and the bad, the profitable and the unprofitable.”
Discourses • Epictetus““I suspect that many will not be satisfied with the simpler way of life.””
Republic • Plato“One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other.”
Emma • Jane Austen
