“In reality, hope is the worst of all evils, because it prolongs the torments of man.”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche“We say that slavery has vanished from European civilization, but this is not true. Slavery still exists, but now it applies only to women and its name is prostitution.”
Les Misérables • VICTOR HUGO“Though the ancients were ignorant of the principles of Christianity there were in them the germs of its spirit.”
The Piazza Tales and Other Prose Pieces • Herman Melville“All colors and blends of Americans have somewhat the same tendencies. It's a breed — selected out by accident. And so we're overbrave and overfearful — we're kind and cruel as children. We're overfriendly and at the same time frightened of strangers. We boast and are impressed. We're oversentimental and realistic. We are mundane and materialistic — and do you know of any other nation that acts for ideals? We eat too much. We have no taste, no sense of proportion. We throw our energy about like waste. In the old lands they say of us that we go from barbarism to decadence without an intervening culture.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck“A doctor should never try to cure the incurable.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig
