“To grow old means to be rid of anxieties about the past.”
Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman • Stefan Zweig“No one knows how greatness comes to a man. It may lie in his blackness, sleeping, or it may lance into him like those driven fiery particles from outer space. These things, however, are known about greatness: need gives it life and puts it in action; it never comes without pain; it leaves a man changed, chastened, and exalted at the same time--he can never return to simplicity.”
Sweet Thursday • John Steinbeck“Fathers and teachers, I ponder, "What is hell?" I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“Is not this insanity plea becoming rather common? Is it not so common that the reader confidently expects to see it offered in every criminal case that comes before the courts?... Really, what we want now, is not laws against crime, but a law against insanity.”
A New Crime • Mark Twain““When our mind melts, do we feel it melt?””
My Sweet Orange Tree • José Mauro de Vasconcelos
