Franz Kafka
“It's only because of their stupidity that they're able to be so sure of themselves.”
Franz Kafka, The Trial

Oscar Wilde
“Society, as we have constituted it, will have no place for me, has none to offer; but Nature, whose sweet rains fall on unjust and just alike, will have clefts in the rocks where I may hide, and secret valleys in whose silence I may weep undisturbed. She will hang the night with stars so that I may walk abroad in the darkness without stumbling, and send the wind over my footprints so that none may track me to my hurt: she will cleanse me in great waters, and with bitter herbs make me whole.”
Oscar Wilde, De Profundis

Joan Didion
“Marriage is memory, marriage is time. Marriage is not only time: it is also, parodoxically, the denial of time.”
Joan Didion, The Year of Magical Thinking

James Baldwin
“Somebody" said Jacques, "your father or mine, should have told us that not many people have ever died of love. But multitudes have perished, and are perishing every hour--and in the oddest places!--for the lack of it.”
James Baldwin, Giovanni’s Room

Oscar Wilde
“To regret one’s own experiences is to arrest one’s own development. To deny one’s own experiences is to put a lie into the lips of one’s own life. It is no less than a denial of the soul.”
Oscar Wilde, De Profundis
