“Fear is a distorting mirror in which anything can appear as a caricature of itself, stretched to terrible proportions; once inflamed, the imagination pursues the craziest and most unlikely possibilities. What is most absurd suddenly seems the most probable.”
The Post Office Girl • Stefan Zweig“No one knows how greatness comes to a man. It may lie in his blackness, sleeping, or it may lance into him like those driven fiery particles from outer space. These things, however, are known about greatness: need gives it life and puts it in action; it never comes without pain; it leaves a man changed, chastened, and exalted at the same time--he can never return to simplicity.”
Sweet Thursday • John Steinbeck“Man grows used to everything, the scoundrel.”
Crime And Punishment • Fyodor Dostoevski“ “I can’t realize where the story ends and life begins. Sometimes they look at me strangely, then I wake up.””
My Sweet Orange Tree • José Mauro de Vasconcelos“He didn't at all see why the busy bee should be proposed as a model to him; he supposed the Bee liked to make honey, or he wouldn't do it -- nobody asked him. It was not necessary for the bee to make such a merit of his tastes.”
Bleak House • Charles Dickens
