““Consistency is the playground of dull minds.” (Meaning)”
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind • Yuval Noah Harari“He looked at her again, now with the vague abject shyness that older men often have with young women, as though asking their indulgence for no longer being young.”
The Post Office Girl • Stefan Zweig“Human nature is so well disposed towards those who are in interesting situations, that a young person, who either marries or dies, is sure of being kindly spoken of.”
Emma • Jane Austen“Beauty had this penalty -- it came too readily, came too completely. It stilled life -- froze it. One forgot the little agitations; the flush, the pallor, some queer distortion, some light or shadow, which made the face unrecognisable for a moment and yet added a quality one saw for ever after. It was simpler to smooth that all out under the cover of beauty.”
To the Lighthouse • Virginia Woolf““This perversion of the truth, familiar to the artist though it was, always unnerved him afresh and proved too much for him. What was a consequence of the premature ending of his fast was here presented as the cause of it! To fight against this lack of understanding, against a whole world of nonunderstanding, was impossible.” ”
A Hunger Artist • Franz Kafka
