“All we discover has been with us since the sun began to roll; and much we discover, is not worth the discovering.”
Mardi • Herman Melville““Perhaps the feelings that we experience when we are in love represent a normal state."”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“All I really wanted was to try and live the life that was spontaneously welling up within me. Why was that so very difficult?”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“All colors and blends of Americans have somewhat the same tendencies. It's a breed — selected out by accident. And so we're overbrave and overfearful — we're kind and cruel as children. We're overfriendly and at the same time frightened of strangers. We boast and are impressed. We're oversentimental and realistic. We are mundane and materialistic — and do you know of any other nation that acts for ideals? We eat too much. We have no taste, no sense of proportion. We throw our energy about like waste. In the old lands they say of us that we go from barbarism to decadence without an intervening culture.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck“War being the greatest of evils, all its accessories necessarily partake of the same character.”
Omoo • Herman Melville
