“The sweetness of many things from that time still stirs and touches me with melancholy: dark and well-lighted alleys, houses and towers, chimes and faces, rooms rich and comfortable, warm and relaxed, rooms pregnant with secrets. Everything bears the scent of warm intimacy, servant girls, household remedies, and dried fruits.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“Of course, Alexander the Great was a hero, but why smash the chairs?”
The Inspector General • Nikolai Gogol“He that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom.”
The Fellowship of the Ring • J.R.R Tolkien“"For the time being he must remain calm, he must show patience and the greatest consideration so that his family could bear the unpleasantness that he, in his present condition, was forced to impose on them."”
Metamorphosis and Other Stories • Franz Kafka““Did you never observe the narrow intelligence flashing from the keen eye of a clever rogue—how eager he is, how clearly his paltry soul sees the way to his end; he is the reverse of blind, but his keen eye-sight is forced into the service of evil, and he is mischievous in proportion to his cleverness?””
Republic • Plato
