“The streets of London have their map, but our passions are uncharted. What are you going to meet if you turn this corner?”
Jacob's Room • Virginia Woolf““What scholars came, what did they find! Like candles they shed light on the world. Which one broke through this darkness? They told a tale and fell asleep.””
Samarkand • Amin Maalouf““The next dish given him was spinach with hard-boiled eggs, while Nadyezhda Fyodorovna, as an invalid, had jelly and milk. When with a preoccupied face she touched the jelly with a spoon and then began languidly eating it, sipping milk, and he heard her swallowing, he was possessed by such an overwhelming aversion that it made his head tingle. He recognised that such a feeling would be an insult even to a dog, but he was angry, not with himself but with Nadyezhda Fyodorovna, for arousing such a feeling, and he understood why lovers sometimes murder their mistresses. He would not murder her, of course, but if he had been on a jury now, he would have acquitted the murderer.””
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“To try to avoid pain is to give too many fucks about pain.”
The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*Ck • Mark Manson“London, that great cesspool into which all the loungers and idlers of the Empire are irresistibly drained.”
A Study in Scarlet • Arthur Conan Doyle
