“Death was a friend, and sleep was Death's brother.”
The Grapes of Wrath • John Steinbeck“Even while I protest the assembly-line production of our food, our songs, our language, and eventually our souls, I know that it was a rare home that baked good bread in the old days. Mother’s cooking was with rare exceptions poor, that good unpasteurized milk touched only by flies and bits of manure crawled with bacteria, the healthy old-time life was riddled with aches, sudden death from unknown causes, and that sweet local speech I mourn was the child of illiteracy and ignorance. It is the nature of a man as he grows older, a small bridge in time, to protest against change, particularly change for the better.”
Travels with Charley: In Search of America • John Steinbeck“All truly great thoughts are conceived while walking.”
Twilight of the Idols • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche““Any one who has common sense will remember that the bewilderments of the eyes are of two kinds, and arise from two causes, either from coming out of the light or from going into the light, which is true of the mind’s eye, quite as much as of the bodily eye.””
Republic • Plato“What they call their loyalty, and their fidelity, I call either the lethargy of custom or their lack of imagination.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde
