“The dressmaker doesn't have problems unless the dress has to hide rather than reveal.”
The Post Office Girl • Stefan Zweig“Nothing in the world is harder than speaking the truth and nothing easier than flattery. If there’s the hundredth part of a false note in speaking the truth, it leads to a discord, and that leads to trouble. But if all, to the last note, is false in flattery, it is just as agreeable, and is heard not without satisfaction. It may be a coarse satisfaction, but still a satisfaction. And however coarse the flattery, at least half will be sure to seem true. That’s so for all stages of development and classes of society.”
Crime And Punishment • Fyodor Dostoevski“ "We shall hear angels, we shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds."”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“There is no feeling so simple that it is not immediately complicated and distorted by introspection.”
Reflections on Literature and Morality • Andre Gide“To demand of strength that it should not express itself as strength, that it should not be a desire to overcome, a desire to throw down, a desire to become master, a thirst for enemies and resistances and triumphs, is just as absurd as to demand of weakness that it should express itself as strength.”
Genealogy of Morals • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
