““He had no craving for truth, and had not sought it;spellbound by vice and lying, his conscience had slept or been silent.

The Duel • Anton Chekhov“ “Looking at life from afar, I seemed lost in my indifference.”
My Sweet Orange Tree • José Mauro de Vasconcelos“A human being will accept the strictest disciplinary measures with a better grace if he knows that they will fall with equal severity on his neighbor. Justice in some mysterious way makes up for violence.”
Beware of Pity • Stefan Zweig“Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.”
The Alchemist • Paulo Coelho“The Seven Commandments: Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend. No animal shall wear clothes. No animal shall sleep in a bed. No animal shall drink alcohol. No animal shall kill any other animal. All animals are equal.”
Animal Farm • George Orwell
