“The reality of the other person is not in what he reveals to you, but in what he cannot reveal to you. Therefore, if you would understand him, listen not to what he says but rather to what he does not say.”

Sand and Foam • Kahlil Gibran

“Practice yourself, for heaven's sake, in little things; and thence proceed to greater.”

Discourses • Epictetus

“As it is so strangely ordained in this world, what is amusing will turn into being gloomy, if you stand too long before it, and then God knows what ideas may not stray into the mind... Why is it that even in moments of unthinking, careless gaiety a different and strange mood comes upon one?”

Dead Souls • Nikolai Gogol

“Never be ashamed,’ he said. ‘Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle.’ ‘How will I know which is which?’ ‘By the taste. You can only know a good wine if you have first tasted a bad one.’”

Brida • Paulo Coelho

“"After a cigar or a glass of vodka you are no longer Peter Sorin, but Peter Sorin plus somebody else."”

The Three Sisters • Anton Chekhov
