“my lad, as far as I can see, free-thinking women are all monsters." ”
Fathers and Sons • Ivan Turgenev“Happiness is a gift and the trick is not to expect it, but to delight in it when it comes.”
Nicholas Nickleby • Charles Dickens“This question of yours, Sir, about my being a house painter — or rather, not a question, you simply made a statement — is typical of the whole character of this trial that is being foisted on me. You may object that it is not a trial at all; you are quite right, for it is only a trial if I recognize it as such. But for the moment I do recognize it, on grounds of compassion, as it were. One can't regard it except with compassion, if one is to regard it at all. I do not say that your procedure is contemptible, but I should like to present that epithet to you for your private consumption.”
The Trial • Franz Kafka“They lived and laughed and loved and left.”
Finnegan's Wake • James Joyce“As we grow old, we become aware that death is drawing near; his shadow falls across our path; the realities of life seem less crude than of yore, they touch our senses less intimately, and they lose much of their poignancy.”
Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman • Stefan Zweig
