“I looked at that hand and felt how rough and deeply hostile it was to me, how it was reaching out for my life and my peace of mind”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“But there certainly are not so many men of large fortune in the world as there are pretty women to deserve them.”
Mansfield Park • Jane Austen“I would not have him sorrow at my hard lot, or say at the burial, Thus we lay out Socrates, or, Thus we follow him to the grave or bury him; for false words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil. Be of good cheer then, my good Crito, and say that you are burying my body only, and do with that as is usual, and as you think best.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“What would a narrative of happiness be like? All that can be described is what prepares it, and then what destroys it.”
The Immoralist • Andre Gide“At bottom every man knows well enough that he is a unique being, only once on this earth; and by no extraordinary chance will such a marvelously picturesque piece of diversity in unity as he is, ever be put together a second time.”
Thoughts Out of Season • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
