““Why do I hear a note of sadness that wrings my heart in this cry of a pure soul?"”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“In fact, at times I preferred to live in the forbidden world, and frequently my return home to the bright realm, no matter how necessary and good that might be, was almost like a return to someplace less beautiful, more boring and dreary. At times I knew my goal in life was to become like my father and mother, just as bright and pure, superior and well-ordered as they. But that was a long road to travel”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“I should think that for one who has tasted the joys of creation, no other pleasure could exist.”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“A light here required a shadow there.”
To the Lighthouse • Virginia Woolf“Do not shorten the morning by getting up late, or waste it in unworthy occupations or in talk; look upon it as the quintessence of life, as to a certain extent sacred. Evening is like old age: we are languid, talkative, silly. Each day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth, every going to rest and sleep a little death.”
Counsels and Maxims • Arthur Schopenhauer
