“Lying, the telling of beautiful untrue things, is the proper aim of Art.”
The Decay of Lying • Oscar Wilde“Beauty had this penalty -- it came too readily, came too completely. It stilled life -- froze it. One forgot the little agitations; the flush, the pallor, some queer distortion, some light or shadow, which made the face unrecognisable for a moment and yet added a quality one saw for ever after. It was simpler to smooth that all out under the cover of beauty.”
To the Lighthouse • Virginia Woolf“If there were no bad people there would be no good lawyers.”
The Old Curiosity Shop • Charles Dickens“Though men are inseparable from the Logos, yet they are separated in it; and though they encounter it daily, they are alienated from it”
Fragments • Heraclitus““In this hour Siddhartha ceased struggling with his fate, ceased suffering. On his face blossomed the serenity of knowledge, which no will opposes any longer, knowing perfection, in agreement with the flow of events, with the stream of life, full of compassion, full of sympathy, abandoned to the flow, belonging to unity.””
Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse
