“Frequent and violent temptations were a proof that the citadel of the soul had not fallen and that the devil raged to make it fall.”
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man • James Joyce““Did you never observe the narrow intelligence flashing from the keen eye of a clever rogue—how eager he is, how clearly his paltry soul sees the way to his end; he is the reverse of blind, but his keen eye-sight is forced into the service of evil, and he is mischievous in proportion to his cleverness?””
Republic • Plato“Art begins with resistance — at the point where resistance is overcome.”
Autumn Leaves • Andre Gide““On their way out, and much to my surprise, they all shook my hand – as if that night during which we hadn’t exchanged as much as a single word had somehow brought us closer together. ””
Stranger • Albert Camus““And even if you were a pawn – maybe we all are – then you should remember that a pawn is the most magical piece of all. It might look small and ordinary but it isn’t. Because a pawn is never just a pawn. A pawn is a queen-in-waiting. All you need to do is find a way to keep moving forward. One square after another. And you can get to the other side and unlock all kinds of power.””
Midnight Library • Matt Haig
