“My dear fellow, the truth isn't quite the sort of thing one tells to a nice, sweet, refined girl.”
The importance of Being Earnest • Oscar Wilde“Variant translation: Your question, Mr. Examining Magistrate, as to whether I am a house-painter — although you did not ask a question at all, you made a statement — typifies exactly the kind of proceedings that are being instituted against me.”
The Trial • Franz Kafka“Faith, like a jackal, feeds among the tombs, and even from these dead doubts she gathers her most vital hope.”
Moby Dick • Herman Melville“The more thou stir it, the worse it will be.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“How much reverence has a noble man for his enemies!--and such reverence is a bridge to love.--For he desires his enemy for himself, as his mark of distinction; he can endure no other enemy than one in whom there is nothing to despise and very much to honor! In contrast to this, picture "the enemy" as the man of ressentiment conceives him--and here precisely is his deed, his creation: he has conceived "the evil enemy," "the Evil One," and this in fact is his basic concept, from which he then evolves, as an afterthought and pendant, a "good one"--himself!”
Genealogy of Morals • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
