“Compare that to a fruit shop adorned with pleasant, lush colors that smell like pomegranate. Compare apples, oranges, cherries, peaches, grapes and melons, and the vivid colors of various vegetables to the butcher shop, the hanging heart and intestines, the severed corpses, the split bellies, the broken legs that hang, and drop blood dripping from it.”
The Benefits of Vegetarianism • Sadegh Hedayat“A large income is the best recipe for happiness I ever heard of.”
Mansfield Park • Jane Austen“Nothing in the world is harder than speaking the truth and nothing easier than flattery. If there’s the hundredth part of a false note in speaking the truth, it leads to a discord, and that leads to trouble. But if all, to the last note, is false in flattery, it is just as agreeable, and is heard not without satisfaction. It may be a coarse satisfaction, but still a satisfaction. And however coarse the flattery, at least half will be sure to seem true. That’s so for all stages of development and classes of society.”
Crime And Punishment • Fyodor Dostoevski“Never joke at funerals, or during business transactions.”
Israel Potter • Herman Melville“All things that God would have us do are hard for us to do--remember that--and hence, he oftener commands us than endeavours to persuade.”
Moby Dick • Herman Melville
