“This is so true that we rarely confide in those who are better than we. Rather, we are more inclined to flee their society. Most often, on the other hand, we confess to those who are like us and who share our weaknesses. Hence we don't want to improve ourselves or be bettered, for we should first have to be judged in default. We merely wish to be pitied and encouraged in the course we have chosen. In short, we should like, at the same time, to cease being guilty and yet not to make the effort of cleansing ourselves. Not enough cynicism and not enough virtue We lack the energy of evil as well as the energy of good.”
― Albert Camus, The Fall

“Надо изображать жизнь не такою, как она есть, и не такою, как должна быть, а такою, как она представляется в мечтах.”
― Anton Chekhov, Чайка

“The decisive question for man is: Is he related to something infinite or not? That is the telling question of his life. Only if we know that the thing which truly matters is the infinite can we avoid fixing our interests upon futilities, and upon all kinds of goals which are not of real importance. Thus we demand that the world grant us recognition for qualities which we regard as personal possessions: our talent or our beauty. The more a man lays stress on false possessions, and the less sensitivity he has for what is essential, the less satisfying is his life. He feels limited because he has limited aims, and the result is envy and jealousy. If we understand and feel that here in this life we already have a link with the infinite, desires and attitudes change.”
― Carl Gustav Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections

“Az ember boldogságát csak az dönti el, ami lelkében van. Élhetünk egy és ugyanazon környezetben és mégis egészen más világban. Hogy milyen a világ, amiben élünk, az tisztára lelkünk mivoltától függ. Látod, én sokszor gondolkoztam ezen. Némelyik ember irígyli a másik boldogságát, holott lelkét kellene irígyelnie, mely a boldogság befogadására és átérzésére képes. A történéseknek mindig saját lelkünk ad súlyt és jelentőséget.”
― Anna Dániel, Erzsébet királyné
