“Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends, I to my own heart, I to seek among phrases and fragments something unbroken — I to whom there is not beauty enough in moon or tree; to whom the touch of one person with another is all, yet who cannot grasp even that, who am so imperfect, so weak, so unspeakably lonely.”
The Waves • Virginia Woolf““Oh, threats of Hell and Hopes of Paradise! / One thing at least is certain — This Life flies; / One thing is certain and the rest is Lies; / The Flower that once has blown for ever dies.””
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam • Omar Khayyam“Our souls, shame-wounded by our sins, cling to us yet more, a woman to her lover clinging, the more the more.”
Ulysses • James Joyce“His ear heard more than was said to him, and his slow speech had overtones not of thought, but of understanding beyond thought.”
Of Mice and Men • John Steinbeck“In the constitution of that rational animal I see no virtue which is opposed to justice, but I see a virtue which is opposed to love of pleasure, and that is temperance.”
Book VIII • Marcus Aurelius
