“In this base world, full of poverty and misery, for the first time I thought a ray of sunshine had shone on my life. But alas, it was not a sunbeam, rather it was only a transient beam, a shooting star, which appeared to me in the likeness of a woman or an angel.”
The Blind Owl • Sadegh Hedayat“Because Demian would have demanded more of me than my parents demanded, much more; by means of inducements and admonitions, sarcasm and irony, he would have tried to make me more self-reliant.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“Throughout life, our worst weaknesses and meannesses are usually committed for the sake of the people we most despise.”
Old Curiosity Shop • Charles Dickens“The color of truth is grey.”
Autumn Leaves • Andre Gide“Was it not the most wonderful thing on earth to be able to help one's fellow-creatures? I now knew that it was the only thing that was worth while.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig
