“Nothing prevents happiness like the memory of happiness.”
Autumn Leaves • Andre Gide“But still anger ought be far from us, for nothing is able to be done rightly nor judiciously with anger.”
On Duties • Marcus Tullius Cicero““Milena among the saviors! Milena who is constantly discovering in herself that the only way to save another person is by being there and nothing else. Moreover, she has already saved me once with her presence and now, after the fact, is trying to do so with other, infinitely smaller means. Naturally, saving someone from drowning is a great deed, but what good is it if the savior then sends the saved a gift-certificate for a swimming course?” (31 July 1920)”
Letters To Milena • Franz Kafka“There are moments when the walls of the mind grow thin; when nothing is unabsorbed, and I could fancy that we might blow so vast a bubble that the sun might set and rise in it and we might take the blue of midday and the black of midnight and be cast off and escape from here and now.”
The Waves • Virginia Woolf““To die hating them, that was freedom.” ”
1984 • George Orwell
