“Death was a friend, and sleep was Death's brother.”
The Grapes of Wrath • John Steinbeck“Variant translation: Somebody must have slandered Joseph K., for without having done anything wrong he was arrested one fine morning.”
The Trial • Franz Kafka“The history of the Roman Empire is also the history of the uprising of the Empire of the Masses, who absorb and annul the directing minorities and put themselves in their place. Then, also, is produced the phenomenon of agglomeration, of "the full." For that reason, as Spengler has very well observed, it was necessary, just as in our day, to construct enormous buildings. The epoch of the masses is the epoch of the colossal.”
the Revolt of the Masses • Jose Ortega y Gasset“There's no quiet place here on earth for our love, not in the village and not anywhere else, so I picture a grave, deep and narrow, in which we embrace as if clamped together, I bury my face against you, you yours against me, and no one will ever see us.”
The Castle • Franz Kafka““Have you never observed how invincible and unconquerable is spirit and how the presence of it makes the soul of any creature to be absolutely fearless and indomitable?””
Republic • Plato
