“ “The happy man only feels at ease because the unhappy bear their burden in silence."”
Uncle Vanya • Anton Chekhov“There's still such chaos in me. Still so little firmly outlined. Just like my face: a formless mass that only takes on shape through the expression of the moment. The searching for our selves is the most agonizing”
The Adolescent Diaries of Karen Horney • Karen Horney““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“I know my fate. One day my name will be associated with the memory of something tremendous - a crisis without equal on earth, the most profound collision of conscience, a decision that was conjured up against everything that had been believed, demanded, hallowed so far. I am no man, I am dynamite.”
Ecce Homo • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.”
The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson • Mark Twain
