“Money, like vodka, turns a person into an eccentric.”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“ "Gregor's appeals to his father were of no help, his appeals were simply not understood, however much he humbly turned his head his father merely stamped his foot all the harder."”
Metamorphosis and Other Stories • Franz Kafka“When conquest is achieved, the authority of the conqueror put an end to internal strife, and the social life-conception was justified. But this justification is only temporary. Internal feuds cease only when the pressure of authority is brought to bear with greater weight upon individuals formerly inimical to one another. The violence of the internal struggle, not annihilated by authority, is the offspring of authority itself. Authority is in the hands of men who, like all the rest, are ever ready to sacrifice the common weal if their own personal interests are at stake; with the sole difference that these men, encountering no resistance from the oppressed, are wholly subject to the corrupting influence of authority itself.”
The Kingdom of God is Within You • Leo Tolstoy“From a drop of water a logician could infer the possibility of an Atlantic or a Niagara without having seen or heard of one or the other.”
A Study in Scarlet • Arthur Conan Doyle“Fathers and teachers, I ponder, "What is hell?" I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski
