“In this life our sorrows are either not very long or not very great because nature either overcomes them by habits or puts an end to them by sinking under their weight. But in hell the torments cannot be overcome by habit, for while they are of terrible intensity they are at the same time of continual variety, each pain, so to speak, taking fire from another and re-endowing that which has enkindled it with a still fiercer flame.”
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man • James Joyce“One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other.”
Emma • Jane Austen“Death hangs over thee: whilst yet thou livest, whilst thou mayest, be good.”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“It is a wise thing to be polite; consequently, it is a stupid thing to be rude. To make enemies by unnecessary and willful incivility is just as insane a proceeding as to set your house on fire. For politeness is like a counter--an avowedly false coin, with which it is foolish to be stingy.”
Counsels and Maxims • Arthur Schopenhauer“When the head aches, all the members share the pain.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes
