“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“Sometimes a man wants to be stupid if it lets him do a thing his cleverness forbids.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck“Logic may indeed be unshakeable, but it cannot withstand a man who is determined to live. Where was the judge he had never seen? Where was the High Court he had never reached? He raised his hands and spread out all his fingers. But the hands of one of the men closed round his throat, just as the other drove the knife deep into his heart and turned it twice.”
The Trial • Franz Kafka“Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends, I to my own heart, I to seek among phrases and fragments something unbroken — I to whom there is not beauty enough in moon or tree; to whom the touch of one person with another is all, yet who cannot grasp even that, who am so imperfect, so weak, so unspeakably lonely.”
The Waves • Virginia Woolf“People often ask, "What is the single most important environmental/population problem facing the world today?" A flip answer would be, "The single most important problem is our misguided focus on identifying the single most important problem!"”
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond
