Metamorphosis and Other Stories • Franz Kafka““Let’s sleep, one forgets everything when he sleeps.””
My Sweet Orange Tree • José Mauro de Vasconcelos“Tolstoy meant that, in order to be happy, a marriage must succeed in many different respects: sexual attraction, agreement about money, child discipline, religion, in-laws, and other vital issues.”

Republic • Plato
