Day's Collacon • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“From Plato: the man who has an elevated mind and takes a view of all time and of all substance, dost thou suppose it possible for him to think that human life is anything great? It is not possible, he said. Such a man then will think that death also is no evil.”

Melancholy was the dominant note of his temperament, he thought, but it was a melancholy tempered by recurrences of faith and resignation and simple joy. If he could give expression to it in a book of poems perhaps men would listen.”
Dubliners • James Joyce“Variant translation: If I had to define man it would be: a biped, ungrateful.”
Notes from Underground • Fyodor Dostoevski“It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known.”
