““Let’s face it: our lives are miserable, laborious, and short.””
Animal Farm • George Orwell“Move swift as the Wind and closely-formed as the Wood. Attack like the Fire and be still as the Mountain.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu“Their return home to their father and a good life was always so satisfying and splendid; I realized keenly that that was the only proper, good, and desirable outcome, but the part of the story that took place among the wicked and the lost was by far the more appealing, and, if one were free to state and admit it, it was sometimes actually a downright shame that the prodigal repented and was found again”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“Rascals are always sociable--more's the pity! and the chief sign that a man has any nobility in his character is the little pleasure he takes in others' company. He prefers solitude more and more, and, in course of time, comes to see that, with few exceptions, the world offers no choice beyond solitude on one side and vulgarity on the other.”
Essays and Aphorisms • Arthur Schopenhauer“One will rarely err if extreme actions be ascribed to vanity, ordinary actions to habit, and mean actions to fear.”
Human, All Too Human • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
