“All Russia is our orchard.”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov““The people do not wish to be ruled nor oppressed by the nobles, and the nobles wish to rule and oppress the people.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“arguments and unhappiness, and when anger overcame me at such times, I was a terror, doing and saying things whose vileness I felt deeply and painfully at the very moment I did”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“If your ultimate and highest goal is to have life made easy and sociable, then never become involved with Christianity, shun it, because it wants the very opposite; it wants to make your life difficult and to do this by making you alone before God. No earnest person, therefore, wearies of tracking down the illusions, because insofar as he is a thinking person he fears most to be in error, however cozy the arrangement is, however good the company—and as a Christian he fears most to be lost without knowing it—however flattering, however splendid the surroundings and the company are.”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard“I wonder why progress looks so much like destruction.”
Travels with Charley: In Search of America • John Steinbeck
