““In all the universe nothing remains permanent and unchanged but the spirit.””
Seagull • Anton Chekhov“Let an understanding man imagine human nature originally produced without the sense of sight, and consider what ignorance and trouble such a defect would bring upon him, what a darkness and blindness in the soul; he will then see by that of how great importance to the knowledge of truth would be the privation of such another sense, or of two or three, should we be so deprived.”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne“No date. The day had no date.”
Diary of a Madman • Nikolai Gogol““Milena among the saviors! Milena who is constantly discovering in herself that the only way to save another person is by being there and nothing else. Moreover, she has already saved me once with her presence and now, after the fact, is trying to do so with other, infinitely smaller means. Naturally, saving someone from drowning is a great deed, but what good is it if the savior then sends the saved a gift-certificate for a swimming course?” (31 July 1920)”
Letters To Milena • Franz Kafka“How can we explain simultaneously this general pattern of female parental care and also its numerous exceptions?”
