“Life is the great teacher.”
Ulysses • James Joyce“There must be something strangely sacred about salt. It is in our tears and in the sea”
Sand and Foam • Kahlil Gibran“All colors and blends of Americans have somewhat the same tendencies. It's a breed — selected out by accident. And so we're overbrave and overfearful — we're kind and cruel as children. We're overfriendly and at the same time frightened of strangers. We boast and are impressed. We're oversentimental and realistic. We are mundane and materialistic — and do you know of any other nation that acts for ideals? We eat too much. We have no taste, no sense of proportion. We throw our energy about like waste. In the old lands they say of us that we go from barbarism to decadence without an intervening culture.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck“The only thing that isn't worthless: to live this life out truthfully and rightly. And be patient with those who don't. ”
Book VI • Marcus Aurelius“But you do know—right?—that your fear of him is something totally improper? A fear like that ruins us, we’ve got to get rid of it. You’ve got to get rid of it if you’re to become a regular person. Do you understand?”
Demian • Hermann Hesse
