Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“Art is Individualism, and Individualism is a disturbing and disintegrating force. Therein lies its immense value. For what it seeks to disturb is monotony of type, slavery of custom, tyranny of habit, and the reduction of man to the level of a machine.”
The Soul of Man Under Socialism • Oscar Wilde“Desire's wind blasts the thorntree but after it becomes from a bramblebush to be a rose upon the rood of time.”
Ulysses • James Joyce“my lad, as far as I can see, free-thinking women are all monsters." ”
Fathers and Sons • Ivan Turgenev“It has always seemed strange to me ... the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest are the traits of success.”
Cannery Row • John Steinbeck
