“If you were to destroy in mankind the belief in immortality, not only love but every living force maintaining the life of the world would at once be dried up. Moreover, nothing then would be immoral, everything would be lawful, even cannibalism.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“The compensation of growing old ... was simply this; that the passion remains as strong as ever, but one has gained -- at last! -- the power which adds the supreme flavour to existence -- the power of taking hold of experience, of turning it round, slowly, in the light.”
Mrs. Dalloway • Virginia Woolf“Of course, they come in different degrees and quantities. But there is no life where you can be in a state of sheer happiness for ever. And imagining there is just breeds more unhappiness in the life you’re in.””
Midnight Library • Matt Haig“If you appear to be somebody important to others, distrust yourself.”
The Enchiridion • Epictetus“He looked at her again, now with the vague abject shyness that older men often have with young women, as though asking their indulgence for no longer being young.”
The Post Office Girl • Stefan Zweig
