“Love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.”
The Prophet • Kahlil Gibran“Optimism is not only a false but also a pernicious doctrine, for it presents life as a desirable state and man's happiness as its aim and object. Starting from this, everyone then believes he has the most legitimate claim to happiness and enjoyment. If, as usually happens, these do not fall to his lot, he believes that he suffers an injustice, in fact that he misses the whole point of his existence.”
The World As Will and Representation • Arthur Schopenhauer“Art is Individualism, and Individualism is a disturbing and disintegrating force. Therein lies its immense value. For what it seeks to disturb is monotony of type, slavery of custom, tyranny of habit, and the reduction of man to the level of a machine.”
The Soul of Man Under Socialism • Oscar Wilde“It takes great courage to back truth unacceptable to our times. There's a punishment for it, and it's usually crucifixion.”
East Of Eden • John Steinbeck““You don’t have to cry just because you’re sad.””
My Sweet Orange Tree • José Mauro de Vasconcelos
