“Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately steppint into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off--then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can.”
Moby Dick • Herman Melville“ “Looking at life from afar, I seemed lost in my indifference.”
My Sweet Orange Tree • José Mauro de Vasconcelos“The cherry orchard is now mine!... I bought the estate on which my grandfather and father were slaves, where they were not even permitted in the kitchen.”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart, you begin to understand, there is no going back? There are some things that time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep ... that have taken hold.”
The Return of the King • J.R.R Tolkien“Understand however that every man is worth just so much as the things are worth about which he busies himself.”
Book VII • Marcus Aurelius
