“Memory is so corrupt that you remember only what you want to; if you want to forget about something, slowly but surely you do.”
The Post Office Girl • Stefan Zweig“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“Politeness is to human nature what warmth is to wax.”
Counsels and Maxims • Arthur Schopenhauer“Short cuts make delays, but inns make longer ones”
The Fellowship of the Ring • J.R.R Tolkien“If we let things terrify us, life will not be worth living.”
Epistles • Lucius Annaeus Seneca
