See All“Nothing is so strange when one is in love ... as the complete indifference of other people.”
Mrs. Dalloway • Virginia Woolf“A little in one's own pocket is better than much in another man's purse.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of the potential, for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible. Pleasure disappoints, possibility never. And what wine is so sparkling, what so fragrant, what so intoxicating, as possibility!”
Either/Or • Soren Kierkegaard“For it is not death or pain that is to be feared, but the fear of pain or death.”
Discourses • Epictetus“The sweetness of many things from that time still stirs and touches me with melancholy: dark and well-lighted alleys, houses and towers, chimes and faces, rooms rich and comfortable, warm and relaxed, rooms pregnant with secrets. Everything bears the scent of warm intimacy, servant girls, household remedies, and dried fruits.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse
