“I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world.”
― Albert Camus, L'Étranger

“A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor — such is my idea of happiness.”
― Leo Tolstoy, Семейное счастие

“When I came to you out of all that dust and heat and toil, I positively smelt violets at once. But not the sweet violet - you know, that early dark violet that smells of melting snow and spring grass.”
― Leo Tolstoy, Great Short Works of Leo Tolstoy

“Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee?”
― Albert Camus
