“You want to know if the heart of a man or a woman can contain enough love for more than one person? … I think it's perfectly possible as long as one of those people doesn’t turn into … a Zahir.”
The Zahir • Paulo Coelho“The word 'service' comes from serving, and serving means being dependent.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig“When a child first catches adults out -- when it first walks into his grave little head that adults do not always have divine intelligence, that their judgments are not always wise, their thinking true, their sentences just -- his world falls into panic desolation. The gods are fallen and all safety gone. And there is one sure thing about the fall of gods: they do not fall a little; they crash and shatter or sink deeply into green muck. It is a tedious job to build them up again; they never quite shine. And the child's world is never quite whole again. It is an aching kind of growing.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck“While there are two ways of contending, one by discussion, the other by force, the former belonging properly to man, the latter to beasts, recourse must be had to the latter if there be no opportunity for employing the former.”
On Duties • Marcus Tullius Cicero“It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness.”
The Kreutzer Sonata • Leo Tolstoy
