“In this life our sorrows are either not very long or not very great because nature either overcomes them by habits or puts an end to them by sinking under their weight. But in hell the torments cannot be overcome by habit, for while they are of terrible intensity they are at the same time of continual variety, each pain, so to speak, taking fire from another and re-endowing that which has enkindled it with a still fiercer flame.”
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man • James Joyce“I laugh at it today, now that I have had all the good of it. Let the bridge blow up, provided I have got my troops across... Nonetheless, that book was a terrible risk. A transparent leaf separates it from madness.”
Ulysses • James Joyce“Thou sufferest justly: for thou choosest rather to become good to-morrow than to be good to-day.”
Book VIII • Marcus Aurelius“Children's games are hardly games. Children are never more serious than when they play.”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne“Private property ... has led Individualism entirely astray. It has made gain not growth its aim.”
The Soul of Man Under Socialism • Oscar Wilde
