“Of all ridiculous things the most ridiculous seems to me, to be busy — to be a man who is brisk about his food and his work.

― Søren Kierkegaard

“A bad conscience is easier to cope with than a bad reputation.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science: With a Prelude in Rhymes and an Appendix of Songs

“The longer and more carefully we look at a funny story, the sadder it becomes.”
― Nikolai V. Gogol

“I love mankind, he said, "but I find to my amazement that the more I love mankind as a whole, the less I love man in particular.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
