“The best definition of man is: a being that goes on two legs and is ungrateful.”
Notes from Underground • Fyodor Dostoevski“Nobody never gets to heaven, and nobody gets no land. It’s just in their head.”
Of Mice and Men • John Steinbeck“Thou art a little soul bearing about a corpse, as Epictetus used to say.”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“They insist that an author should write in the strictest, purest and noblest language: in short, they expect the Russian language to drop from the clouds, already refined, and that it should come naturally to the lips, so that all they have to do is to open their mouth and stick out their tongue. It goes without saying, of course, that the feminine half of the human species is very wise; but it must be confessed that our respected readers are even wiser.”
Dead Souls • Nikolai Gogol“Everywhere soldiering entails the same busily empty monotony; hour after hour is mapped out in accordance with inflexible, antediluvian regulations, and even one's leisure does not seem to offer much in the way of variety. In the officers' mess the same faces, the same conversation; at the cafe the same games of cards and billiards.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig
