Henry David Thoreau
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion.”
Henry David Thoreau

Marcel Proust
“But sometimes illumination comes to our rescue at the very moment when all seems lost; we have knocked at every door and they open on nothing until, at last, we stumble unconsciously against the only one through which we can enter the kingdom we have sought in vain a hundred years - and it opens.”
Marcel Proust, In Search of Lost Time

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.”
Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi

Sophocles
“Go then if you must, but remember, no matter how foolish your deeds, those who love you will love you still.”
Sophocles, Antigone

Sophocles
“How dreadful the knowledge of the truth can be
When there’s no help in truth.”
Sophocles, Oedipus Rex
