“The most decisive actions of our life -- I mean those that are most likely to decide the whole course of our future -- are, more often than not, unconsidered. Like a train into which one jumps without thinking, and without asking oneself where it is going.”

The Counterfeiters • Andre Gide

“Those whom fate has dealt hard knocks remain vulnerable for ever afterwards.”

Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig

“In the case of most pains let this remark of Epicurus aid thee, that the pain is neither intolerable nor everlasting, if thou bear in mind that it has its limits, and if thou addest nothing to it in imagination...”

Book VII • Marcus Aurelius

“Faith, like a jackal, feeds among the tombs, and even from these dead doubts she gathers her most vital hope.”

Moby Dick • Herman Melville

““Some for the Glories of This World; and some / Sigh for the Prophet's Paradise to come; / Ah, take the Cash, and let the Credit go, / Nor heed the rumble of a distant Drum!””

Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam • Omar Khayyam
