““The critics suppose that it is easy to write a play."”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.”
The Picture of Dorian Gray • Oscar Wilde“You will do the greatest service to the state, if you shall raise not the roofs of the houses, but the souls of the citizens.”
Fragment • Epictetus“How much reverence has a noble man for his enemies!--and such reverence is a bridge to love.--For he desires his enemy for himself, as his mark of distinction; he can endure no other enemy than one in whom there is nothing to despise and very much to honor! In contrast to this, picture "the enemy" as the man of ressentiment conceives him--and here precisely is his deed, his creation: he has conceived "the evil enemy," "the Evil One," and this in fact is his basic concept, from which he then evolves, as an afterthought and pendant, a "good one"--himself!”
Genealogy of Morals • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“I want someone to sit beside after the day's pursuit and all its anguish, after its listening, and its waitings, and its suspicions. After quarrelling and reconciliation I need privacy -- to be alone with you, to set this hubbub in order. For I am as neat as a cat in my habits.”
The Waves • Virginia Woolf
