“It is never until one realizes that one means something to others that one feels there is any point or purpose in one's own existence.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.”
Travels with Charley: In Search of America • John Steinbeck“Every woman while she would be ready to die of shame if surprised in the act of generation, nonetheless carries her pregnancy without a trace of shame and indeed with a kind of pride. The reason is that pregnancy is in a certain sense a cancellation of the guilt incurred by coitus; thus coitus bears all the shame and disgrace of the affair, while pregnancy, which is so intimately associated with it, stays pure and innocent and is indeed to some extent sacred.”
Essays and Aphorisms • Arthur Schopenhauer“God has set his intentions in the flowers, in the dawn, in the spring--it is his will that we should love.”
Toilers of the Sea • VICTOR HUGO“The literary woman, unsatisfied, agitated, desolate in heart and entrails, listening every minute with painful curiosity to the imperative which whispers from the depths of her organism "aut liberi aut libri [either children or books]."”
Twilight of the Idols • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
