“Fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so lightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners. Often the attachment is scarcely perceptible; Shakespeare's plays, for instance, seem to hang there complete by themselves. But when the web is pulled askew, hooked up at the edge, torn in the middle, one remembers that these webs are not spun in midair by incorporeal creatures, but are the work of suffering human beings, and are attached to the grossly material things, like health and money and the houses we live in.”

Demian • Hermann Hesse“In order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to obtain.”
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer • Mark Twain“Golf is a good walk spoiled.”
The Wit and Wisdom of Mark Twain • Mark Twain“To be caught happy in a world of misery was for an honest man the most despicable of crimes.”
