““He had cast out of heaven his dim star; it had fallen, and its track was lost in the darkness of night. It would never return to the sky again, because life was given only once and never came a second time. If he could have turned back the days and years of the past, he would have replaced the falsity with truth, the idleness with work, the boredom with happiness; he would have given back purity to those whom he had robbed of it. He would have found God and goodness, but that was as impossible as to put back the fallen star into the sky, and because it was impossible he was in despair.””
The Duel • Anton Chekhov“People ought to fight to keep their law as to defend the citys walls.”
Fragments • Heraclitus“I speak what appears to me the general opinion; and where an opinion is general, it is usually correct.”
Mansfield Park • Jane Austen“The Lord had given them the day and the Lord had given them the strength. And the day and the strength had been dedicated to labor, and the labor was its reward. Who was the labor for? What would be its fruits? These were irrelevant and idle questions.”
Anna Karenina • Leo Tolstoy“In hell there is no other punishment than to begin over and over again the tasks left unfinished in your lifetime.”
Autumn Leaves • Andre Gide
