“ "There was seldom any conversation, especially at first, that was not about him in some way, even if only in secret."”

Metamorphosis and Other Stories • Franz Kafka

“In this base world, full of poverty and misery, for the first time I thought a ray of sunshine had shone on my life. But alas, it was not a sunbeam, rather it was only a transient beam, a shooting star, which appeared to me in the likeness of a woman or an angel.”

The Blind Owl • Sadegh Hedayat

“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”

Lady Windermere's Fan • Oscar Wilde

“Great Jove angry is no longer Jove.”

Seagull • Anton Chekhov

““Vasudeva rose. “It is late,” he said, “let’s go to sleep. I can’t tell you that other thing, oh friend. You’ll learn it, or perhaps you know it already. See, I’m no learned man, I have no special skill in speaking, I also have no special skill in thinking. All I’m able to do is to listen and to be godly, I have learned nothing else. If I was able to say and teach it, I might be a wise man, but like this I am only a ferryman, and it is my task to ferry people across the river.” ””

Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse
