“"You're a gentleman," they used to say to him. "You shouldn't have gone murdering people with a hatchet; that's no occupation for a gentleman."”
Crime And Punishment • Fyodor Dostoevski“Art is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experienced.”
What is art? • Leo Tolstoy“Life is everything. Life is God. Everything changes and moves and that movement is God. And while there is life there is joy in consciousness of the divine. To love life is to love God.”
War and Peace • Leo Tolstoy“What an obstacle had suddenly arisen to block K.'s career! And this was the moment when he was supposed to work for the bank? He looked down at his desk. This the time to interview clients and negotiate with them? While his case was unfolding itself, while up in the attics the Court officials were poring over the charge papers, was he to devote his attention to the affairs of the bank? It looked like a kind of torture sanctioned by the Court, arising from his case and concomitant with it.”
The Trial • Franz Kafka““You must know that the human heart must be very large to contain all those you love.””
My Sweet Orange Tree • José Mauro de Vasconcelos
