G.K. Chesterton
“The point is not that this world is too sad to love or too glad not to love; the point is that when you do love a thing, its gladness is a reason for loving it, and its sadness a reason for loving it more.”
G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy

Andrei Tarkovsky
“Poetry is an awareness of the world, a particular way of relating to reality.”
Andrei Tarkovsky, Sculpting in Time

Oscar Wilde
“It is a sad thing to think of, but there is no doubt that Genius lasts longer than Beauty. That accounts for the fact that we all take such pains to over/educate ourselves. In the wild struggle for existence, we want to have something that endures, and so we fill our minds with rubbish and facts, in the sillz hope of keeping our place.”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

Peter S. Beagle
“there never is a happy ending because nothing ever ends.”
Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn

Leo Tolstoy
“What do you want? What do you want?” he repeated to himself. “What do I want? To live and not to suffer,” he answered. And again he listened with such concentrated attention that even his pain did not distract him. “To live? How?” asked his inner voice. “Why, to live as I used to—well and pleasantly.” “As you lived before, well and pleasantly?” the voice repeated. And in imagination he began to recall the best moments of his pleasant life.”
Leo Tolstoy, The Death Of Ivan Ilyich
