“He began to seach among the infinite series of impressions which time had laid down, leaf upon leaf, fold upon fold softly, incessantly upon his brain; among scents, sounds; voices, harsh, hollow, sweet; and lights passing, and brooms tapping; and the wash and hush of the sea.”
To the Lighthouse • Virginia Woolf“The only way a woman can ever reform a man is by boring him so completely that he loses all possible interest in life.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde““Siddhartha learned a great deal from the Samanas; he learned many ways of losing the Self. He traveled along the path of self-denial through pain, through voluntary suffering and conquering of pain, through hunger, thirst and fatigue. He traveled the way of self-denial through meditation, through the emptying of the mind through all images. Along these and other paths did he learn to travel. He lost his Self a thousand times and for days on end he dwelt in non-being. But although the paths took him away from Self, in the end they always led back to it.””
Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse“Government is merely a servant – merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn’t. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them.”
The Bible According to Mark Twain • Mark Twain“All war is a symptom of man's failure as a thinking animal.”
Once There Was a War • John Steinbeck
