“It is not the real punishment. The only effectual one, the only deterrent and softening one, lies in the recognition of sin by conscience.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

“If you want to be a grocer, or a general, or a politician, or a judge, you will invariably become it; that is your punishment. If you never know what you want to be, if you live what some might call the dynamic life but what I will call the artistic life, if each day you are unsure of who you are and what you know you will never become anything, and that is your reward.”
― Oscar Wilde

“We move our eyelids up and down. Blinking, we call it. It's like a small black
shutter that clicks down and makes a break. Everything goes black; one's eyes are moistened.
You can't imagine how restful, refreshing, it is. Four thousand little rests per hour. Four thousand
little respites.”
― Jean-Paul Sartre, No Exit

“Could hell be described as too much of anything without a break? Are variety,
moderation and balance instruments we use to keep us from boiling in any inferno of excess,' whether it be cheesecake or ravenous sex?”
― Jean-Paul Sartre, No Exit
