“Faith, like a jackal, feeds among the tombs, and even from these dead doubts she gathers her most vital hope.”
Moby Dick • Herman Melville“There are people who the more you do for them, the less they will do for themselves.”
Emma • Jane Austen“A man who had two sons ... went to the first and said, "Son, go out and work in my vineyard today." But he answered and said, "I will not," but afterward he repented of it and he went. And the father went to the second and said the same. But he answered, "I will, sir," and he did not go. Which of the two did the will of his father?”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard“He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu“I often ardently perceived a longing for relief, the desire for a proper confession, but I also felt in advance that I would be unable to tell and explain things correctly to either my father or mother. I knew that they would receive my words amicably, they would carefully spare my feelings, in fact, pity me, but they wouldn’t fully understand me, and the whole thing would be looked on as a sort of minor infraction, whereas it was actually my fate.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse
