“It was not only that I could not become spiteful, I did not know how to become anything; neither spiteful nor kind, neither a rascal nor an honest man, neither a hero nor an insect. Now, I am living out my life in my corner, taunting myself with the spiteful and useless consolation that an intelligent man cannot become anything seriously, and it is only the fool who becomes anything.”
Notes from Underground • Fyodor Dostoevski““There are two situations in which you can just be you: The first situation is when you’re alone in a room.””
Surrounded by Idiots • Thomas Erikson“That science is incapable of solving in its own way those fundamental questions is no sufficient reason for slighting them”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset“A whole lifetime was too short to bring out, the full flavour; to extract every ounce of pleasure, every shade of meaning.”
Mrs. Dalloway • Virginia Woolf“Gold conjures up a mist about a man, more destructive of all his old senses and lulling to his feelings than the fumes of charcoal.”
Nicholas Nickleby • Charles Dickens
