See All“Variant translation: Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.”
Book IV • Marcus Aurelius“My story isn’t pleasant, it’s not sweet and harmonious like the invented stories; it tastes of folly and bewilderment, of madness and dream, like the life of all people who no longer want to lie to themselves.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“ “Looking at life from afar, I seemed lost in my indifference.”
My Sweet Orange Tree • José Mauro de Vasconcelos“The gentleman lolling back in the chaise was neither dashingly handsome nor yet unbearably ugly, neither too stout nor yet too thin; it could not be claimed he was old but he was no stripling, either. His arrival in the town created no stir and was not marked by anything out of the ordinary.”
Dead Souls • Nikolai Gogol“The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them: that's the essence of inhumanity.”
The Devil's Disciple • George Bernard Shaw
