“"Whenever they began to talk of the need to earn money, Gregor would always first let go of the door and then throw himself onto the cool, leather sofa next to it, as he became quite hot with shame and regret."”
Metamorphosis and Other Stories • Franz Kafka“Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice.”
Hamlet • William Shakespeare“Married people pledge love for each other throughout eternity. Well, now, that is easy enough but does not mean very much, for if one is finished with time one is probably finished with eternity. If, instead of saying "throughout eternity," the couple would say, "until Easter, until next May Day," then what they say would make some sense, for then they would be saying something and also something they perhaps could carry out.”
Either/Or • Soren Kierkegaard“They are always asking a writer why he does not write like somebody else, or a painter why he does not paint like somebody else, quite oblivious of the fact that if either of them did anything of the kind he would cease to be an artist.”
The Soul of Man Under Socialism • Oscar Wilde“In the end one needs forbearance to get by in this world.”
The Post Office Girl • Stefan Zweig
