“We imitate the habits of three groups in particular: The close. The many. The powerful.”
Atomic Habits • James Clear“The most important thing in life is to stop saying 'I wish' and start saying 'I will.'”
David Copperfield • Charles Dickens“There is no sin, and there can be no sin on all the earth, which the Lord will not forgive to the truly repentant! Man cannot commit a sin so great as to exhaust the infinite love of God. Can there be a sin which could exceed the love of God?”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“I write only for my shadow which is cast on the wall in front of the light. I must introduce myself to it.”
The Blind Owl • Sadegh Hedayat“What is love? For the rabble love is a kind of variety, a transient vulgarity; the rabble's conception of love is best found in their obscene ditties, in prostitution and in the foul idioms they use when they are halfway sober, such as "shoving the donkey's foreleg in mud," or "putting dust on the head." My love for her, however, was of a totally different kind. I knew her from ancient times—strange slanted eyes, a narrow, half-open mouth, a subdued quiet voice. She was the embodiment of all my distant, painful memories among which I sought what I was deprived of, what belonged to me but somehow I was denied. Was I deprived forever?”
The Blind Owl • Sadegh Hedayat
