“To follow her thought was like following a voice which speaks too quickly to be taken down by one's pencil, and the voice was her own voice saying without prompting undeniable, everlasting, contradictory things.”
To the Lighthouse • Virginia Woolf“The English country gentleman galloping after a fox -- the unspeakable in full pursuit of the uneatable.”
A Woman of No Importance • Oscar Wilde“Scandal is gossip made tedious by morality.”
Lady Windermere's Fan • Oscar Wilde“Sleep is in contact with the Possible, which we also call the improbable. The world of the night is a world. Night, as night, is a universe.... The dark things of the unknown world become neighbors of man, whether by true communication or by a visionary enlargement of the distances of the abyss ... and the sleeper, not quite seeing, not quite unconscious, glimpses the strange anomalities, weird vegetation, terrible or radiant pallors, ghosts, masks, figures, hydras, confusions, moonless moonlights, obscure unmakings of miracle, growths and vanishings within a murky depth, shapes floating in shadow, the whole mystery which we call Dreaming, and which is nothing other than the approach of an invisible reality. The dream is the aquarium of Night.”
Travailleurs de la Mer • VICTOR HUGO“You see how few things you have to do to live a satisfying and reverent life? If you can manage this, that's all even the gods can ask of you. ”
Book II • Marcus Aurelius
