“In life there are certain sores that, like a canker, gnaw at the soul in solitude and diminish it. ”
The Blind Owl • Sadegh Hedayat“Woman learns to hate to the extent to which her charms decrease.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“The union of opposites, in so far as they are really complementary, always results in the most perfect harmony; and the seemingly incongruous is often the most natural.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig“It is a hopeless endeavour to attract people to a theatre unless they can be first brought to believe that they will never get in.”
Nicholas Nickleby • Charles Dickens“It was not only that I could not become spiteful, I did not know how to become anything; neither spiteful nor kind, neither a rascal nor an honest man, neither a hero nor an insect. Now, I am living out my life in my corner, taunting myself with the spiteful and useless consolation that an intelligent man cannot become anything seriously, and it is only the fool who becomes anything.”
Notes from Underground • Fyodor Dostoevski
