“If you seek truth, you will not seek by every means to gain a victory; and if you have found truth, you will have the gain of not being defeated.”

Fragment • Epictetus

“But each person is not only himself, he is also the unique, very special point, important and noteworthy in every instance, where the phenomena of the world meet, once only and never again in the same way.”

Demian • Hermann Hesse

“As it is so strangely ordained in this world, what is amusing will turn into being gloomy, if you stand too long before it, and then God knows what ideas may not stray into the mind... Why is it that even in moments of unthinking, careless gaiety a different and strange mood comes upon one?”

Dead Souls • Nikolai Gogol

“What they call their loyalty, and their fidelity, I call either the lethargy of custom or their lack of imagination.”

The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde

“In life there are certain sores that, like a canker, gnaw at the soul in solitude and diminish it. ”

The Blind Owl • Sadegh Hedayat
