“There's many a true word spoken in jest.”
Ulysses • James Joyce“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“No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity.”
Atomic Habits • James Clear“Give thyself time to learn something new and good, and cease to be whirled around.”
Book II • Marcus Aurelius“The church is precisely that against which Jesus preached -- and against which he taught his disciples to fight.”
Unpublished fragment • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
