“Sometimes a kind of glory lights up the mind of a man. It happens to nearly everyone. You can feel it growing or preparing like a fuse burning toward dynamite. It is a feeling in the stomach, a delight of the nerves, of the forearms. The skin tastes the air, and every deep-drawn breath is sweet. Its beginning has the pleasure of a great stretching yawn; it flashes in the brain and the whole world glows outside your eyes. A man may have lived all his life in the gray, and the land and trees of him dark and somber. The events, even the important ones, may have trooped by faceless and pale. And then — the glory — so that a cricket song sweetens the ears, the smell of the earth rises chanting to his nose, and dappling light under a tree blesses his eyes. Then a man pours outward, a torrent of him, and yet he is not diminished.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck“Many brief follies--that is what you call love. And your marriage puts an end to many brief follies, with a single long stupidity.”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche“Theirs, too, is the word-coining genius, as if thought plunged into a sea of words and came up dripping.”
The Common Reader • Virginia Woolf“Do not imagine, comrades, that leadership is a pleasure!”
Animal Farm • George Orwell“Never be ashamed,’ he said. ‘Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle.’ ‘How will I know which is which?’ ‘By the taste. You can only know a good wine if you have first tasted a bad one.’”
Brida • Paulo Coelho
