“Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on Earth.”
Crime And Punishment • Fyodor Dostoevski“In no social institution is the codified ritual of behavior more rigid than in funerals. Imagine the indignation if the minister altered his sermon or experimented with facial expression. Consider the shock if, at the funeral parlors, any chairs were used but those little folding yellow torture chairs with the hard seats. No, dying, a man may be loved, hated, mourned, missed; but once dead he becomes the chief ornament of a complicated and formal social celebration.”
Tortilla Flat • John Steinbeck“ Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. ”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“Most often people seek in life occasions for persisting in their opinions rather than for educating themselves.”
Reflections on Literature and Morality • Andre Gide““Four legs good, two legs bad.””
Animal Farm • George Orwell
