“Cruelty would be delicious if one could only find some sort of cruelty that didn’t really hurt.”
Heartbreak House • George Bernard Shaw“Sometimes a kind of glory lights up the mind of a man. It happens to nearly everyone. You can feel it growing or preparing like a fuse burning toward dynamite. It is a feeling in the stomach, a delight of the nerves, of the forearms. The skin tastes the air, and every deep-drawn breath is sweet. Its beginning has the pleasure of a great stretching yawn; it flashes in the brain and the whole world glows outside your eyes. A man may have lived all his life in the gray, and the land and trees of him dark and somber. The events, even the important ones, may have trooped by faceless and pale. And then — the glory — so that a cricket song sweetens the ears, the smell of the earth rises chanting to his nose, and dappling light under a tree blesses his eyes. Then a man pours outward, a torrent of him, and yet he is not diminished.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck“Remember this— that there is a proper dignity and proportion to be observed in the performance of every act of life.”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius““He added, ‘You see, she had friends here, people her own age. She was able to share things from the old days with them. You’re young, and it must have been hard for her with you.‘””
Stranger • Albert Camus“Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.”
Man's Search For Meaning • Viktor E Frankl
