“Therefore each of us must discover for himself what is permitted and what is forbidden—forbidden to him.”

Book VII • Marcus Aurelius“Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.”
Our Mutual Friend • Charles Dickens“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. For this reason, Schlegel, inverting the relationship between pleasure and destiny, said, “We have a genius for what we like.” Genius, man’s superlative gift for doing something, always carries a look of supreme pleasure.”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset““At that time, I often thought that if I had had to live in the trunk of a dead tree, with nothing to do but look up at the sky flowing overhead, little by little I would have gotten used to it.””
Stranger • Albert Camus
