“ “Merely to be alone, not to be beaten or questioned, to have enough to eat, and to be clean all over, was completely satisfying.””

1984 • George Orwell

“Optimism is not only a false but also a pernicious doctrine, for it presents life as a desirable state and man's happiness as its aim and object. Starting from this, everyone then believes he has the most legitimate claim to happiness and enjoyment. If, as usually happens, these do not fall to his lot, he believes that he suffers an injustice, in fact that he misses the whole point of his existence.”

The World As Will and Representation • Arthur Schopenhauer

““A minute later she asked me if I loved her. I told her it didn’t mean anything but that I didn’t think so.””

Stranger • Albert Camus

“ "Your ego breaks in two: you begin to think of yourself in the third person.””

Seagull • Anton Chekhov

“You say "society must exact vengeance, and society must punish." Wrong on both counts. Vengeance comes from the individual and punishment from God.”

The Last Day of a Condemned Man • VICTOR HUGO
