“They insist that an author should write in the strictest, purest and noblest language: in short, they expect the Russian language to drop from the clouds, already refined, and that it should come naturally to the lips, so that all they have to do is to open their mouth and stick out their tongue. It goes without saying, of course, that the feminine half of the human species is very wise; but it must be confessed that our respected readers are even wiser.”
Dead Souls • Nikolai Gogol“Nature abhors a vacuum.”
Ulysses • James Joyce“To grow old means to be rid of anxieties about the past.”
Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman • Stefan Zweig“History, as well as life itself, is complicated; neither life nor history is an enterprise for those who seek simplicity and consistency.”
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond““And even if you were a pawn – maybe we all are – then you should remember that a pawn is the most magical piece of all. It might look small and ordinary but it isn’t. Because a pawn is never just a pawn. A pawn is a queen-in-waiting. All you need to do is find a way to keep moving forward. One square after another. And you can get to the other side and unlock all kinds of power.””
Midnight Library • Matt Haig
