““The older one gets the more convinced one becomes that his Majesty King Chance does three-quarters of the business of this miserable universe.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“My life appeared to me as unnatural, uncertain and incredible as the design on the pencase I am using at this moment. It seems that a painter who has been possessed, perhaps a perfectionist, has painted the cover of this pencase. Often, when I look at this design, it seems familiar; perhaps it is because of this design that I write or perhaps this design makes me write.”
The Blind Owl • Sadegh Hedayat“Respect the faculty that forms thy judgments.”
Book III • Marcus Aurelius“I ought to know by this time that when a fact appears opposed to a long train of deductions it invariably proves to be capable of bearing some other interpretation.”
A Study in Scarlet • Arthur Conan Doyle“He tried to weigh his soul to see if it was a poet's soul. Melancholy was the dominant note of his temperament, he thought, but it was a melancholy tempered by recurrences of faith and resignation and simple joy. If he could give expression to it in a book of poems perhaps men would listen.”
Dubliners • James Joyce
