“... people only count their misfortunes; their good luck they take no account of. But if they were to take everything into account, as they should, they'd find that they had their fair share of it.”
Notes from Underground • Fyodor Dostoevski“One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.”
The Alchemist • Paulo Coelho“To live each day as though one's last, never flustered, never apathetic, never attitudinizing – here is perfection of character.”
Book VII • Marcus Aurelius“Compare that to a fruit shop adorned with pleasant, lush colors that smell like pomegranate. Compare apples, oranges, cherries, peaches, grapes and melons, and the vivid colors of various vegetables to the butcher shop, the hanging heart and intestines, the severed corpses, the split bellies, the broken legs that hang, and drop blood dripping from it.”
The Benefits of Vegetarianism • Sadegh Hedayat““Well, he used to say that the great thing in married life was patience. Do you hear, Vanya? Not love, but patience. Love cannot last long. You have lived two years in love, and now evidently your married life has reached the period when, in order to preserve equilibrium, so to speak, you ought to exercise all your patience. . . .””
Seagull • Anton Chekhov
