“"Gregor converted his success at work straight into cash that he could lay on the table at home for the benefit of his astonished and delighted family."”
Metamorphosis and Other Stories • Franz Kafka“Fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so lightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners. Often the attachment is scarcely perceptible; Shakespeare's plays, for instance, seem to hang there complete by themselves. But when the web is pulled askew, hooked up at the edge, torn in the middle, one remembers that these webs are not spun in midair by incorporeal creatures, but are the work of suffering human beings, and are attached to the grossly material things, like health and money and the houses we live in.”
A Room of One's Own • Virginia Woolf“Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius.”
The Valley of Fear • Arthur Conan Doyle““That’s not the point, Milena, as far as I’m concerned you’re not a woman, you’re a girl, I’ve never seen anyone who was more of a girl than you, and girl that you are, I don’t dare offer you my hand, my dirty, twitching, clawlike, fidgety, unsteady, hot-cold hand.””
Letters To Milena • Franz Kafka“Even if loving meant leaving, or solitude, or sorrow, love was worth every penny of its price.”
By The River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept • Paulo Coelho
