“No one who is young is ever going to be old.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck“A hungry people listens not to reason, nor cares for justice, nor is bent by any prayers.”
De Brevitate Vitae • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“A gift consists not in what is done or given, but in the intention of the giver or doer.”
Moral Essays • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“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“There is nothing that so raises a young man's self-esteem, that so contributes to the formation of his character as for him to find himself unexpectedly confronted with a task which he has to accomplish entirely on his own initiative and by his own efforts.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig
