““Why, Milena, do you write about our common future which will never be, or is it that why you write about it? (…) Few things are certain, but one is that we’ll never live together, share an apartment, body to body, at a common table, never, not even in the same city. (…) Incidentally, Milena, you must agree when you examine yourself and me and take soundings of the “sea” between “Vienna” and “Prague” with its insurmountably high waves.” (Prague, September 1920)”
Letters To Milena • Franz Kafka“Books are the training weights of the mind.”
The Art of Living • Epictetus“The unconscious self is the real genius. Your breathing goes wrong the moment your conscious self meddles with it.”
Maxim for Revolutionists • George Bernard Shaw“Sure, cried the tenant men, but it's our land. We measured it and broke it up. We were born on it, and we got killed on it, died on it. Even if it's no good, it's still ours. That's what makes it ours-being born on it, working it, dying on it.”
The Grapes of Wrath • John Steinbeck““They ought to be dangerous to their enemies, and gentle to their friends; if not, they will destroy themselves without waiting for their enemies to destroy them.””
Republic • Plato
