See All“We may feel genuinely concerned about world conditions, though such a concern should drive us into action and not into a depression.”
Self-Analysis • Karen Horney“If you pretend to be good, the world takes you very seriously. If you pretend to be bad, it doesn't. Such is the astounding stupidity of optimism.”
Lady Windermere's Fan • Oscar Wilde“As an enemy is made more fierce by our flight, so pain grows proud to see us truckle under it; she will surrender upon much better terms to those who make head against us.”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne“In this base world, full of poverty and misery, for the first time I thought a ray of sunshine had shone on my life. But alas, it was not a sunbeam, rather it was only a transient beam, a shooting star, which appeared to me in the likeness of a woman or an angel.”
The Blind Owl • Sadegh Hedayat“Funerals all over the world everywhere every minute. Shovelling them under by the cartload doublequick. Thousands every hour. Too many in the world.”
Ulysses • James Joyce
