“There are few men who durst publish to the world the prayers they make to God. ”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne““Why, Milena, do you write about our common future which will never be, or is it that why you write about it? (…) Few things are certain, but one is that we’ll never live together, share an apartment, body to body, at a common table, never, not even in the same city. (…) Incidentally, Milena, you must agree when you examine yourself and me and take soundings of the “sea” between “Vienna” and “Prague” with its insurmountably high waves.” (Prague, September 1920)”
Letters To Milena • Franz Kafka“My life appeared to me as unnatural, uncertain and incredible as the design on the pencase I am using at this moment. It seems that a painter who has been possessed, perhaps a perfectionist, has painted the cover of this pencase. Often, when I look at this design, it seems familiar; perhaps it is because of this design that I write or perhaps this design makes me write.”
The Blind Owl • Sadegh Hedayat“Politics are almost as exciting as war, and – quite as dangerous ... In war, you can only be killed once. But in politics many times.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill““I feel as if I had been in the world a thousand years, and I trail my life behind me like an endless scarf.””
Seagull • Anton Chekhov
