““No one, not even the starvation artist himself knew how great his achievement really was, and his heart grew heavy.” ”
A Hunger Artist • Franz Kafka“Thus, Fertile Crescent and eastern Mediterranean societies had the misfortune to arise in an ecologically fragile environment. They committed ecological suicide by destroying their own resource base.”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“Retirement without study is death, and the grave of a living man.”

Reflections on Literature and Morality • Andre Gide“Is it really not possible to touch the gaming table without being instantly infected by superstition?”
The Gambler • Fyodor Dostoevski
