“Let other pens dwell on guilt and misery.”
Mansfield Park • Jane Austen“Immortality is but ubiquity in time.”
Moby Dick • Herman Melville“There is always more misery among the lower classes than there is humanity in the higher.”
Les Misérables • VICTOR HUGO“If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of the potential, for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible. Pleasure disappoints, possibility never. And what wine is so sparkling, what so fragrant, what so intoxicating, as possibility!”
Either/Or • Soren Kierkegaard“"There, Master Niketas," Baudolino said, "when I was not prey to the temptations of this world, I devoted my nights to imagining other worlds. ... There is nothing better than imagining other worlds," he said, "to forget the painful one we live in. At least so I thought then. I hadn't yet realized that, imagining other worlds, you end up changing this one."”
Baudolino • Umberto Eco
