“My loneliness was born when men praised my talkative faults and blamed my silent virtues.”
Sand and Foam • Kahlil Gibran““She said, ‘If you go slowly, you risk getting sunstroke. But if you go too fast, you work up a sweat and then catch a chill inside the church.’ She was right. There was no way out.””
Stranger • Albert Camus““My turn came next. Marie threw me a kiss. I looked back as I walked away. She hadn’t moved; her face was still pressed to the rails, her lips still parted in that tense, twisted smile.””
Stranger • Albert Camus“But every acquisition that is disproportionate to the labor spent on it is dishonest.”
Anna Karenina • Leo Tolstoy“this second, violent world gushed out fragrantly everywhere, except in our rooms, where Mother and Father were. And that was very good. It was wonderful that here among us there was peace, order, and repose, duty and a clear conscience, forgiveness and love—and wonderful that all the rest existed, all those noisy, glaring, somber, and violent things, which nevertheless could be escaped with a single bound toward one’s mother.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse
