“Man is certainly crazy. He could not make a mite, and he makes gods by the dozen.”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne“Suicide may also be regarded as an experiment — a question which man puts to Nature, trying to force her to answer. The question is this: What change will death produce in a man’s existence and in his insight into the nature of things? It is a clumsy experiment to make; for it involves the destruction of the very consciousness which puts the question and awaits the answer.”
Counsels and Maxims • Arthur Schopenhauer“In this world, shipmates, sin that pays its way can travel freely, and without a passport; whereas Virtue, if a pauper, is stopped at all frontiers.”
Moby Dick • Herman Melville“It's so much darker when a light goes out than it would have been if it had never shone.”
The Winter of Our Discontent • John Steinbeck“To conceal anything from those to whom I am attached, is not in my nature. I can never close my lips where I have opened my heart.”
Master Humphrey's Clock • Charles Dickens
