George Orwell
“All writers are vain, selfish, and lazy, and at the very bottom of their motives there lies a mystery. Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand. For all one knows that demon is simply the same instinct that makes a baby squall for attention. And yet it is also true that one can write nothing readable unless one constantly struggles to efface one's own personality. Good prose is like a windowpane.”
George Orwell, Why I Write

Augustine of Hippo
“People travel to wonder
at the height of the mountains,
at the huge waves of the seas,
at the long course of the rivers,
at the vast compass of the ocean,
at the circular motion of the stars,
and yet they pass by themselves
without wondering. ”
Saint Augustine

“Hate is a place where a man who can't stand sadness goes." - Godo”
Miura Kentaro, Berserk t.1

Michel de Montaigne
“There were many terrible things in my life and most of them never happened.”
Michel de Montaigne
