“You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say and think. ”
Book II • Marcus Aurelius“Death was a friend, and sleep was Death's brother.”
The Grapes of Wrath • John Steinbeck“The only artists I have ever known who are personally delightful are bad artists. Good artists exist simply in what they make, and consequently are perfectly uninteresting in what they are.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde“Death, a cause of terror to the sinner, is a blessed moment for him who has walked in the right path.”
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man • James Joyce““Slower, he walked along in his thoughts and asked himself: “But what is this, what you have sought to learn from teachings and from teachers, and what they, who have taught you much, were still unable to teach you?” And he found: “It was the self, the purpose and essence of which I sought to learn. It was the self, I wanted to free myself from, which I sought to overcome. But I was not able to overcome it, could only deceive it, could only flee from it, only hide from it. Truly, no thing in this world has kept my thoughts thus busy, as this my very own self, this mystery of me being alive, of me being one and being separated and isolated from all others, of me being Siddhartha! And there is no thing in this world I know less about than about me, about Siddhartha!”″”
Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse
