“Scholars have argued that without humanism the Reformation could not have succeeded, and it is certainly difficult to imagine the Reformation occurring without the knowledge of languages, the critical handling of sources, the satirical attacks on clerics and scholastics, and the new national feeling that a generation of humanists provided. On the other hand, the long-term success of the humanists owed something to the Reformation. In Protestant schools and universities classical culture found a permanent home. The humanist curriculum, with its stress on languages and history, became a lasting model for the arts curriculum.”
Steven Ozment, The Age of Reform 1250-1550: An Intellectual and Religious History of Late Medieval and Reformation Europe

Albert Camus
“Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee? But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself.”
Albert Camus, A Happy Death

Thomas Bernhard
“Wenn wir einen geliebten Menschen verlieren, behalten wir doch immer ein Kleidungsstück von ihm wenigstens solange wir den Geruch des Verlorenen noch an ihm wahrnehmen können und tatsächlich bis in unserem Tod hinein, weil wir auch dann noch glauben, sein Geruch machte uns dieses Kleidungsstück gegenwärtig, wenn das auch längst nur mehr noch nichts ist als Einbildung.”
Thomas Bernhard, Concrete

Donna Tartt
“I suppose there is a certain crucial interval in everyone’s life when character is fixed forever;”
Donna Tartt, The Secret History

Paul Auster
“یه مرضی هست به نام "یعنی الآن داره چی کار میکنه؟" و این باعث میشه نتونی هیچ وقت فراموشش کنی”
