“„When artists create pictures and thinkers search for laws and formulate thoughts, it is in order to salvage something from the great dance of death, to make something that lasts longer than we do.“”
Narcissus and Goldmund • Hermann Hesse“When a simple man who has no skill in dialectics believes an argument to be true which he afterwards imagines to be false, whether really false or not, and then another and another, he no longer has any faith left, and great disputers, as you know, come to think, at last that they have grown to be the wisest of mankind; for they alone perceive the utter unsoundness and instability of all arguments, or, indeed, of all things, which like the currents in the Euripus, are going up and down in never-ceasing ebb and flow.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“"For the time being he must remain calm, he must show patience and the greatest consideration so that his family could bear the unpleasantness that he, in his present condition, was forced to impose on them."”
Metamorphosis and Other Stories • Franz Kafka“My body was like a harp and her words and gestures were like fingers running upon the wires.”
Dubliners • James Joyce“We have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it.”
Candida • George Bernard Shaw
