“Do not shorten the morning by getting up late, or waste it in unworthy occupations or in talk; look upon it as the quintessence of life, as to a certain extent sacred. Evening is like old age: we are languid, talkative, silly. Each day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth, every going to rest and sleep a little death.”
Counsels and Maxims • Arthur Schopenhauer““The child’s heart forgets but does not forgive.””
My Sweet Orange Tree • José Mauro de Vasconcelos“His ear heard more than was said to him, and his slow speech had overtones not of thought, but of understanding beyond thought.”
Of Mice and Men • John Steinbeck“I write only for my shadow which is cast on the wall in front of the light. I must introduce myself to it.”
The Blind Owl • Sadegh Hedayat“Things have no hold on the soul. They have no access to it, cannot move or direct it. It is moved and directed by itself alone. It takes the things before it and interprets them as it sees fit. ”
Book V • Marcus Aurelius
