“My feelings, gratitude, for instance, are denied me simply because of my social position.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“Remember that you ought to behave in life as you would at a banquet. As something is being passed around it comes to you; stretch out your hand, take a portion of it politely. It passes on; do not detain it. Or it has not come to you yet; do not project your desire to meet it, but wait until it comes in front of you. So act toward children, so toward a wife, so toward office, so toward wealth.”
The Enchiridion • Epictetus“Trifles make the sum of life.”
David Copperfield • Charles Dickens“It was the first rift in my father’s sanctity, it was the first nick in the pillars on which my childish life had rested, and which every human being must destroy before he can become himself. It is of these experiences, invisible to everyone, that the inner, essential line of our destiny consists. That kind of rift and nick closes over again, it is healed and forgotten, but in the most secret chamber of the mind it continues to live and bleed.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.”
The Alchemist • Paulo Coelho
