“I want someone to sit beside after the day's pursuit and all its anguish, after its listening, and its waitings, and its suspicions. After quarrelling and reconciliation I need privacy -- to be alone with you, to set this hubbub in order. For I am as neat as a cat in my habits.”
The Waves • Virginia Woolf“In countries where there is a mild climate, less effort is expended on the struggle with nature and man is kinder and more gentle.”
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“Independence is for the very few; it is a privilege of the strong. And whoever attempts it even with the best right but without inner constraint proves that he is probably not only strong, but also daring to the point of recklessness. He enters into a labyrinth, he multiplies a thousandfold dangers which life brings with it in any case, not the least of which is that no one can see how and where he loses his way, becomes lonely, and is torn piecemeal by some minotaur of conscience. Supposing one like that comes to grief, this happens so far from the comprehension of men that they neither feel it nor sympathize. And he cannot go back any longer.”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche“As it is pleasant to see the sea from the land, so it is pleasant for him who has escaped from troubles to think of them.”
Fragment • Epictetus“Now is the winter of our discontent”
Richard III • William Shakespeare
