“Murder will out.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“The dream is the small hidden door in the deepest and most intimate sanctum of the soul, which opens to that primeval cosmic night that was soul long before there was conscious ego and will be soul far beyond what a conscious ego could ever reach.”
The Meaning of Psychology for Modern Man • Carl Gustav Jung“"After a cigar or a glass of vodka you are no longer Peter Sorin, but Peter Sorin plus somebody else."”
The Three Sisters • Anton Chekhov“A little flesh, a little breath, and a Reason to rule all – that is myself.”
Book II • Marcus Aurelius““How does Chekhov’s artistic “programme” comment on the message of The Duel, and vice versa? I should like to be a free artist and nothing more, and I regret that God has not given me the power to be one. I hate lying and violence in all their forms. . . . Pharisaism, stupidity and despotism reign not in merchants’ houses and prisons alone. I see them in science, in literature, in the younger generation. . . . That is why I have no preference either for gendarmes, or for butchers, or for scientists, or for writers, or for the younger generation. I regard trade-marks and labels as a superstition. My holy of holies is the human body, health, intelligence, talent, inspiration, love, and the most absolute freedom— freedom from violence and lying, whatever forms they may take. This is the programme I would follow if I were a great artist.*””
The Duel • Anton Chekhov
