““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“Those ruffians, the Gods, shan't have it all their own way.”
Mrs. Dalloway • Virginia Woolf“A monk should surely love his books with humility, wishing their good and not the glory of his own curiosity; but what the temptation of adultery is for laymen and the yearning for riches is for secular ecclesiastics, the seduction of knowledge is for monks.”
The Name of The Rose • Umberto Eco“A man far oftener appears to have a decided character from persistently following his temperament than from persistently following his principles.”
Human, All Too Human • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“It is not fit that I should give myself pain, for I have never intentionally given pain even to another.”
Book VIII • Marcus Aurelius
