Moby Dick • Herman Melville“Light sorrows speak, but deeper ones are dumb.”
Hippolytus • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“ "Nothing better forges a bond of love, friendship or respect than common hatred toward something."”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“Pride is an established conviction of one's own paramount worth in some particular respect, while vanity is the desire of rousing such a conviction in others, and it is generally accompanied by the secret hope of ultimately coming to the same conviction oneself. Pride works from within; it is the direct appreciation of oneself. Vanity is the desire to arrive at this appreciation indirectly, from without.”
Parerga and Paralipomena • Arthur Schopenhauer“A human being who strives for something great considers everyone he meets on his way either as a means or as a delay and obstacle--or as a temporary resting place.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
