“It has always seemed strange to me ... the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest are the traits of success.”
Cannery Row • John Steinbeck““Let’s face it: our lives are miserable, laborious, and short.””
Animal Farm • George Orwell“Nothing that grieves us can be called little: by the eternal laws of proportion a child's loss of a doll and a king's loss of a crown are events of the same size.”
Which Was the Dream • Mark Twain“Variant Translation: Let not thy mind run on what thou lackest as much as on what thou hast already.”
Book VII • Marcus Aurelius“If you were to destroy in mankind the belief in immortality, not only love but every living force maintaining the life of the world would at once be dried up. Moreover, nothing then would be immoral, everything would be lawful, even cannibalism.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski
