““Sometimes we have to wait, for the best.””
My Sweet Orange Tree • José Mauro de Vasconcelos““Milena among the saviors! Milena who is constantly discovering in herself that the only way to save another person is by being there and nothing else. Moreover, she has already saved me once with her presence and now, after the fact, is trying to do so with other, infinitely smaller means. Naturally, saving someone from drowning is a great deed, but what good is it if the savior then sends the saved a gift-certificate for a swimming course?” (31 July 1920)”
Letters To Milena • Franz Kafka“I have always thought that clarity is a form of courtesy that the philosopher owes; moreover, this discipline of ours considers it more truly a matter of honor today than ever before to be open to all minds … This is different from the individual sciences which increasingly [interpose] between the treasure of their discoveries and the curiosity of the profane the tremendous dragon of their closed terminology.”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset“Woman learns to hate to the extent to which her charms decrease.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“The rain is ever falling, drip, drip, drip, by day and night, upon the broad flagged terrace-pavement.”
Bleak House • Charles Dickens
