“ “The happy man only feels at ease because the unhappy bear their burden in silence."”
Uncle Vanya • Anton Chekhov““Slower, he walked along in his thoughts and asked himself: “But what is this, what you have sought to learn from teachings and from teachers, and what they, who have taught you much, were still unable to teach you?” And he found: “It was the self, the purpose and essence of which I sought to learn. It was the self, I wanted to free myself from, which I sought to overcome. But I was not able to overcome it, could only deceive it, could only flee from it, only hide from it. Truly, no thing in this world has kept my thoughts thus busy, as this my very own self, this mystery of me being alive, of me being one and being separated and isolated from all others, of me being Siddhartha! And there is no thing in this world I know less about than about me, about Siddhartha!”″”
Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse“...why did we wait for any thing? — why not seize the pleasure at once? — How often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparation!”
Emma • Jane Austen“If there's any illness for which people offer many remedies, you may be sure that particular illness is incurable, I think.”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“Paper, they say, does not blush, but I assure you it's not true and that it's blushing just as I am now, all over.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski
