“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.”
A Room of One's Own • Virginia Woolf“I have not become the King’s First Minister in order to preside over the liquidation of the British Empire.”
Never Give In! • Winston S Churchill“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“Opportunities multiply as they are seized.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu“No envy is more mean than that of small-minded beings when they see a neighbor lifted, as though borne aloft by angels, out of the dull drudgery of their common existence; petty spirits are more ready to forgive a prince the most fabulous wealth than a fellow-sufferer beneath the same yoke the smallest degree of freedom.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig
