“Malice is always lucky.”
The Post Office Girl • Stefan Zweig“Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.”
The Soul of Man Under Socialism • Oscar Wilde“The things you think about determine the quality of your mind. Your soul takes on the color of your thoughts. ”
Book V • Marcus Aurelius“Love ought not to make requests,” she said, “but shouldn’t make demands, either. Love must have the strength to reach certainty for itself. Then it no longer undergoes the power of attraction, but exerts it.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“Even while I protest the assembly-line production of our food, our songs, our language, and eventually our souls, I know that it was a rare home that baked good bread in the old days. Mother’s cooking was with rare exceptions poor, that good unpasteurized milk touched only by flies and bits of manure crawled with bacteria, the healthy old-time life was riddled with aches, sudden death from unknown causes, and that sweet local speech I mourn was the child of illiteracy and ignorance. It is the nature of a man as he grows older, a small bridge in time, to protest against change, particularly change for the better.”
Travels with Charley: In Search of America • John Steinbeck
