““And I, too, felt ready to start life all over again. It was as if that great rush of anger had washed me clean, emptied me of hope, and, gazing up at the dark sky spangled with its signs and stars, for the first time, the first, I laid my heart open to the benign indifference of the universe.””
Stranger • Albert Camus“I recommend all adventurous youths who abandon vessels in romantic islands during the rainy season to provide themselves with umbrellas.”
Typee • Herman Melville“Suicide may also be regarded as an experiment -- a question which man puts to Nature, trying to force her to answer. The question is this: What change will death produce in a man’s existence and in his insight into the nature of things? It is a clumsy experiment to make; for it involves the destruction of the very consciousness which puts the question and awaits the answer.”
Parerga and Paralipomena • Arthur Schopenhauer“Long only for what you have.”
Fruits of the Earth • Andre Gide“Marriage may be compared to a cage: the birds outside despair to get in and those within despair to get out. ”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne
