“The most beautiful things are those that madness prompts and reason writes.”
Autumn Leaves • Andre Gide“To be caught happy in a world of misery was for an honest man the most despicable of crimes.”
To the Lighthouse • Virginia Woolf““Happiness, like unhappiness, is a proactive choice.””
The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People • Stephen R. Covey“I was not in full control of myself, and it seemed that I knew her name from before. The evil in her eyes, her color, her scent and her movements were all familiar to me. It was as though my souls, in the life before this, in the world of imagination, had bordered on her soul and that both souls, of the same essence and substance, were destined for union. I must have lived this life very close to her. I had no desire to touch her; the invisible beams that emanated from our bodies and mingled were sufficient for me. Isn't this terrifying experience which seemed so familiar to met quite the same as the feelings of two lovers who feel that they have known each other before and that a mysterious relationship has previously existed between them? Was it possible that someone else could affect me? The dry, repulsive and ominous laughter of the old man, however, tore our bonds asunder.”
The Blind Owl • Sadegh Hedayat“Most often people seek in life occasions for persisting in their opinions rather than for educating themselves.”
Reflections on Literature and Morality • Andre Gide
