“Art begins with resistance — at the point where resistance is overcome.”
Autumn Leaves • Andre Gide“Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers. All other things, our powers, our desires, our food, are all really necessary for our existence in the first instance. But this rose is an extra. Its smell and its color are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it. It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again that we have much to hope from the flowers.”
The Naval Treaty • Arthur Conan Doyle““Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.””
The Duel • Anton Chekhov““There is nothing which for my part I like better, Cephalus, than conversing with aged men; for I regard them as travellers who have gone a journey which I too may have to go, and of whom I ought to enquire, whether the way is smooth and easy, or rugged and difficult.””
Republic • Plato“We can understand one another, but each of us can only interpret himself.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse
