“Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering.”
By The River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept • Paulo Coelho“What an obstacle had suddenly arisen to block K.'s career! And this was the moment when he was supposed to work for the bank? He looked down at his desk. This the time to interview clients and negotiate with them? While his case was unfolding itself, while up in the attics the Court officials were poring over the charge papers, was he to devote his attention to the affairs of the bank? It looked like a kind of torture sanctioned by the Court, arising from his case and concomitant with it.”
The Trial • Franz Kafka“Gratitude is a rare frame of mind; and those who are grateful can seldom find a way to express what they feel. They are overwhelmed by silence; are shamefaced; and, sometimes, actually try to hide their feelings.”
Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman • Stefan Zweig“If a man knows not to which port he sails, no wind is favorable.”
Seneca's Morals • Lucius Annaeus Seneca“The discovery of truth is prevented more effectively, not by the false appearance things present and which mislead into error, not directly by weakness of the reasoning powers, but by preconceived opinion, by prejudice.”
Parerga and Paralipomena • Arthur Schopenhauer
