“To string incongruities and absurdities together in a wandering and sometimes purposeless way, and seem innocently unaware that they are absurdities, is the basis of the American art, if my position is correct.”
How to Tell s Story • Mark Twain“"That man is … odd," I dared say to William.”
The Name of The Rose • Umberto Eco“My life appeared to me as unnatural, uncertain and incredible as the design on the pencase I am using at this moment. It seems that a painter who has been possessed, perhaps a perfectionist, has painted the cover of this pencase. Often, when I look at this design, it seems familiar; perhaps it is because of this design that I write or perhaps this design makes me write.”
The Blind Owl • Sadegh Hedayat““Friendships that are obtained by payments, and not by greatness or nobility of mind, may indeed be earned, but they are not secured.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli““I am dirty, Milena, endlessly dirty, that is why I make such a fuss about cleanliness. None sing as purely as those in deepest hell; it is their singing we take for the singing of angels.” (26 August 1920)”
Letters To Milena • Franz Kafka
