“When we remember that we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained.”
Mark Twain's Notebook • Mark Twain“ “When you're thirsty and it seems that you could drink the entire ocean that's faith."”
The Cherry Orchard • Anton Chekhov“It was the first rift in my father’s sanctity, it was the first nick in the pillars on which my childish life had rested, and which every human being must destroy before he can become himself. It is of these experiences, invisible to everyone, that the inner, essential line of our destiny consists. That kind of rift and nick closes over again, it is healed and forgotten, but in the most secret chamber of the mind it continues to live and bleed.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“In no social institution is the codified ritual of behavior more rigid than in funerals. Imagine the indignation if the minister altered his sermon or experimented with facial expression. Consider the shock if, at the funeral parlors, any chairs were used but those little folding yellow torture chairs with the hard seats. No, dying, a man may be loved, hated, mourned, missed; but once dead he becomes the chief ornament of a complicated and formal social celebration.”
Tortilla Flat • John Steinbeck“There are books of which the backs and covers are by far the best parts.”
Oliver Twist • Charles Dickens
