“Profound optimism is always on the side of the tortured.”
Autumn Leaves • Andre Gide“Love ought not to make requests,” she said, “but shouldn’t make demands, either. Love must have the strength to reach certainty for itself. Then it no longer undergoes the power of attraction, but exerts it.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse““I wanted to excel in your eyes, show my strength of will, wait before writing you, first finish a document, but the room is empty, no one is minding me – it’s as if someone said: leave him alone, can’t you see how engrossed he is in his own affairs, it’s as if he had a fist in his mouth. So I only wrote half a page and am once again with you, lying on this letter like I lay next to you back then in the forest.” (16 July 1920)”
Letters To Milena • Franz Kafka“No man really knows about other human beings. The best he can do is to suppose that they are like himself.”
The Winter of Our Discontent • John Steinbeck“Patriotism: Your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it.”
A Journal of Democracy • George Bernard Shaw
