“My life appeared to me as unnatural, uncertain and incredible as the design on the pencase I am using at this moment. It seems that a painter who has been possessed, perhaps a perfectionist, has painted the cover of this pencase. Often, when I look at this design, it seems familiar; perhaps it is because of this design that I write or perhaps this design makes me write.”
The Blind Owl • Sadegh Hedayat“Seize the moments of happiness, love and be loved! That is the only reality in the world, all else is folly.”
War and Peace • Leo Tolstoy“I have always thought that clarity is a form of courtesy that the philosopher owes; moreover, this discipline of ours considers it more truly a matter of honor today than ever before to be open to all minds … This is different from the individual sciences which increasingly [interpose] between the treasure of their discoveries and the curiosity of the profane the tremendous dragon of their closed terminology.”
What is Philosophy? • Jose Ortega y Gasset“Books are the mirrors of the soul.”
Between the Acts • Virginia Woolf“How absurd men are! They never use the liberties they have, they demand those they do not have. They have freedom of thought, they demand freedom of speech.”
Either/Or • Soren Kierkegaard
