“A man of genius makes no mistakes. His errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery.”
Ulysses • James Joyce“Twenty years of romance make a woman look like a ruin, but twenty years of marriage make her something like a public building.”
A Woman of No Importance • Oscar Wilde“Only the shallow know themselves.”
Phrases and Philosophies for the use of the Young • Oscar Wilde“One could say nothing to nobody. The urgency of the moment always missed its mark. Words fluttered sideways and struck the object inches too low. Then one gave it up; then the idea sunk back again; then one became like most middle-aged people, cautious, furtive, with wrinkles between the eyes and a look of perpetual apprehension. For how could one express in words these emotions of the body? express that emptiness there?”
To the Lighthouse • Virginia Woolf“Old age realizes the dreams of youth: look at Dean Swift; in his youth he built an asylum for the insane, in his old age he was himself an inmate.”
Either/Or • Soren Kierkegaard
