““No one ever arrives home,” she said amiably. “But when the paths of friends meet, the whole world looks like home for a while.””
Demian • Hermann Hesse“I have my own virtue, which I am constantly cultivating and refining by teaching myself not to tolerate in me or my surroundings anything but the exquisite.”
Reflections on Literature and Morality • Andre Gide“What an obstacle had suddenly arisen to block K.'s career! And this was the moment when he was supposed to work for the bank? He looked down at his desk. This the time to interview clients and negotiate with them?

It looked like a kind of torture sanctioned by the Court, arising from his case and concomitant with it.”
The Trial • Franz Kafka““A prince, therefore, ought always to take counsel.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“Never give in — never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.”
