“We imitate the habits of three groups in particular: The close. The many. The powerful.”
Atomic Habits • James Clear“Whatever else is unsure in this stinking dunghill of a world a mother's love is not.”
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man • James Joyce“I often ardently perceived a longing for relief, the desire for a proper confession, but I also felt in advance that I would be unable to tell and explain things correctly to either my father or mother. I knew that they would receive my words amicably, they would carefully spare my feelings, in fact, pity me, but they wouldn’t fully understand me, and the whole thing would be looked on as a sort of minor infraction, whereas it was actually my fate.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“The universe is transformation: life is opinion. ”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius““This perversion of the truth, familiar to the artist though it was, always unnerved him afresh and proved too much for him. What was a consequence of the premature ending of his fast was here presented as the cause of it! To fight against this lack of understanding, against a whole world of nonunderstanding, was impossible.” ”
A Hunger Artist • Franz Kafka
