Hermann Hesse
“You are willing to die, you coward, but not to live.”
Herman Hesse, Steppenwolf

Ernest Hemingway
“When you love you wish to do things for. You wish to sacrifice for. You wish to serve.”
Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms

John Green
“Thomas Edison's last words were "It's very beautiful over there". I don't know where there is, but I believe it's somewhere, and I hope it's beautiful.”
John Green, Looking for Alaska

Milan Kundera
“The heaviest of burdens crushes us, we sink beneath it, it pins us to the ground. But in love poetry of every age, the woman longs to be weighed down by the man's body.The heaviest of burdens is therefore simultaneously an image of life's most intense fulfillment. The heavier the burden, the closer our lives come to the earth, the more real and truthful they become. Conversely, the absolute absence of burden causes man to be lighter than air, to soar into heights, take leave of the earth and his earthly being, and become only half real, his movements as free as they are insignificant. What then shall we choose? Weight or lightness?”
Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Hermann Hesse
“In eternity there is no time, only an instant long enough for a joke.”
Hermann Hesse, Steppenwolf
