Metamorphosis and Other Stories • Franz Kafka“How absurd men are! They never use the liberties they have, they demand those they do not have. They have freedom of thought, they demand freedom of speech.”

The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski““No matter how large, how crowded, and how abundant an empire is, there is always a shortage of men.””
Samarkand • Amin Maalouf“Every living creature is happy when he fulfills his destiny, that is, when he realizes himself, when he is being that which in truth he is.

History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset
