“[P]eople think that the human brain is in the head. Nothing of the sort; it is carried by the wind from the Caspian Sea.”
Diary of a Madman • Nikolai Gogol“If I seem happy to you . . . You could never say anything that would please me more. For men are made for happiness, and anyone who is completely happy has a right to say to himself, 'I am doing God's will on earth.' All the righteous, all the saints, all the holy martyrs were happy.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“The thought of suicide is a great consolation: by means of it one gets successfully through many a bad night.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche““There are two situations in which you can just be you: The first situation is when you’re alone in a room.””

Baudolino • Umberto Eco
