“A man can die but once.”
Henry IV • William Shakespeare““Why, Milena, do you write about our common future which will never be, or is it that why you write about it? (…) Few things are certain, but one is that we’ll never live together, share an apartment, body to body, at a common table, never, not even in the same city. (…) Incidentally, Milena, you must agree when you examine yourself and me and take soundings of the “sea” between “Vienna” and “Prague” with its insurmountably high waves.” (Prague, September 1920)”
Letters To Milena • Franz Kafka“He who fears death either fears to lose all sensation or fears new sensations. In reality, you will either feel nothing at all, and therefore nothing evil, or else, if you can feel any sensations, you will be a new creature, and so will not have ceased to have life.”
Book VIII • Marcus Aurelius““The critics suppose that it is easy to write a play."”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“Never joke at funerals, or during business transactions.”
Israel Potter • Herman Melville
