"I'm very well aware of the dubious reputation of this book. Without doubt this is an impressive document about the First World War, seen through the eyes of a German soldier. All classic ingredients are incorporated: the enthusiasm at the start of th" Read more of this review »

Albert Camus
“You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.”
Albert Camus

Haruki Murakami
“Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back. That's part of what it means to be alive. But inside our heads - at least that's where I imagine it - there's a little room where we store those memories. A room like the stacks in this library. And to understand the workings of our own heart we have to keep on making new reference cards. We have to dust things off every once in awhile, let in fresh air, change the water in the flower vases. In other words, you'll live forever in your own private library.”
Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

Haruki Murakami
“Silence, I discover, is something you can actually hear.”
Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

Woody Allen
“Human happiness does not seem to have been included in the design of creation. It is only we with our capacity to love that fives meaning to the indifferent universe, and yet most human beings seem to have the ability to keep trying and even to find joy from simple things.”
Woody Allen

Vladimir Nabokov
“Words without experience are meaningless.”
